 Rating: - Dashboard crashes iMac more than Panther ever didFor one year I ran Panther on my new iMac. Virtually no problems and no crashes. I have crashed more times with Tiger in one month than ever before. I think it is Dashboard and I only have a couple of the native widgets in use. What a shame - they are so cool.

There is no doubt that this is an 'optimized' system, as my Mac G4 is blazing through things faster than ever. Standards like iPhoto and iTunes still put Apple on the cutting edge, but new features like Safari and the Dashboard/Widgets are great for making your life easier. So, what was the one big negative, you wonder? When I upgraded, my modem driver went AWOL. For four long weeks I was without internet access! Apple engineers ... Read More |
