Well, the future is here, I am now running OS X Tiger.

Install went fast and easy, I did the install from inside of Panther.

This is actualy pretty stable, I am planing using it as my main OS for a while. It is installed on my iBook G3, 900mhz.

QuickTime is a lot better now, it is cocoa, not carbon. Everything works about how they said it should at the WWDC, I am impressed.

Dashboard is awsome, but no nice effects for me because of my old gfx card.

Here is a screenshot, I will post more when I am done with summer school in a few hours.

EDIT: I did not download this, so it is not warez.

Some other interesting things, Automator is still called Pipeline in this build.

Have you found any other new features that weren't discussed during the keynote?  I kind of find it hard to believe it is going to take Apple up to another year to develop Tiger, if these are all the major improvments.

The one's mentioned in the keynote are the one's they wanted to show off, as stated there are over 150+ new innovations etc in the o/s and that's what they have so far.

As you've noted, there is still another year(-ish) development time to go into it before it ships :)

I did the install from inside of Panther.

Could you elaborate a bit more on that?

Yea, Pipeline's icon is a Domino. Hmmm...

iChat still has its old logo, but its classed as 'iChat 3.0'....

Unfortunately having the weird Internet Configs us DSL users have here, it seems my modem currently won't work (Most Major updates required new drivers :rolleyes: ) ...So i'm back with Panther for now...

Things i've noticed.

Core Image based effects run really 'Super Smooth' and look awesome...

Dock icons have 'remove from dock' on the contextual menu...

Ummm...

Aside from that, I dunno how many of the 150+ features are in so far, I would hope not even half, because IMO, there isn't all too much in there to make Panther users want to upgrade. Panther seems quite 'complete', well not complete, but doesn't lack anything in particular, IMO, so tiger really needs to bring innovation to require us to upgrade. Spotlight, I guess is an example of that, but asides from that (and Core Image / Video Tech) , what else in the OS really compels you to upgrade?

iChat update seems little other than what Steve mentioned,

Pipeline / Automator is nice, no doubt...

Dashboard is 'cool' but kinda a gimmick I feel - I never was a fan of Konfabulator...

Apple is going in the right direction, but i just hope the extra timescale left for developing this, will bring us more 'groundbreaking' features...

That was my initial feeling, at least... We shall see...

Yeah I have one too.  I'm pretty sure that Apple will make sure the final release of Tiger will run on our machines.  :yes:

Yes, I'm pretty sure Apple will make the Final release of Tiger work on our machines, but I want to run the preview now.

Does anybody have it running on a new PowerBook?

Has anyone ran it on a G4 iBook?

I've tried and tried, I can not get it to boot off a PC Burned image...

And iBooks dont have dvdr's so you cant burn it on the mac :(

I get a system folder icon with a ? mark in it when i try and boot off the dvd.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By RejZoR · Posted

      "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
