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.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
