Average Rating:
 Rating: - Slightly older, but definitely RECOMMENDED!I'm not a fan of buying a new OS when it first comes out. I'd rather wait until most, if not many, of the bugs have been fixed. My iBook came with OS X Jaguar (10.3.x) preinstalled, and had been upgraded to 10.3.9. When Apple came out with Leopard (10.5), I took the plunge and bought Tiger (10.4.x), and now my iBook is running on 10.4.11, and I've experienced no problems whatsoever. This laptop (12" screen, 1.2 GHz PowerPC G4, 768 MB DDR SDRAM, upgradable to 1.2 GB) is a couple years old (purchased ... Read More Rating:  - Works, stable - but not worth upgradingI bought a used Mac with Panther already on it. I bought Tiger because that was the current O/S release, and since I had no bonafide O/S installer disk, I wanted a safe recovery disk I could use to reboot and rebuild the whole system from if I ever needed it. This is on a G4 733 MHz, with 768 MB RAM. Lots of eye candy, zero substance. If you are happy with Panther, don't bother. After using Tiger for a year, I have yet to see it do anything at all of any use. The ... Read More Rating:  - Great upgrade!I got Tiger to improve the working of my Powerbook G4 1.5. My Jaguar installation was getting pokey after two years and a clean install with Tiger cleared out the annoying slowdowns in my computer. Before Tiger, my computer would hang when playing large DV files (such as the ones I made in iMovie) but now they run without a hitch even though the hardware is the same. This Tiger upgrade doesn't include some of the apps (games, Quicken, etc.) that my wife has on her new MacBook, but it did include a 30 ... Read More Rating: - Puts Windows to shame!When I first switched over to the Mac (after years of believing in Windows XP's superiority, mind you), it was a Powerbook G4 with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. After using it for just a few minutes, I was finally convinced that I was wrong about Mac vs. Windows in a big way. Once you get used to it, OS X is not only easier to use, but it is prettier, more powerful, and far more stable as well. Tiger improves on that platform. My favorite new feature is Dashboard, which brings a whole bunch of handy little ... Read More Rating: - There is a question here?Why not have the best possible operating system for the best possible computer. While this OS is not the top of the line today, it was when I bought it. If you buy the MAC, it pays to have the best operating system. Stay current. The hardest jump was from OS 8 to OS 9. I was unable to bring any of my peripherals with me. Now it is seamless. Like they say, just "Plug n Play." |
