Tiger early impressions

after some fits and starts, I am now enjoying Tiger. I like what I see so far. I concur on what others have said about some interface inconsistencies, but by and large, it’s a noticeable upgrade: seamless but obvious, if that makes sense. It extends what was there without seeming too different.

It does seem faster (and on an 800 MHz iBook, that’s a real benefit). I think Spotlight is amazing: I have had occasion to use it a couple of times and it’s everything I heard it would be. I can only imagine it on a G5.

The “pre-order” discount is on til the end of May, I think, so it you haven’t taken the plunge, why wait?

And an added bonus, new versions of NetNewsWire, ecto, and the 1.0 release of DarwinPorts all came out this week.
