I'd like to see them upgrade the video card in the Mac mini for Tiger's Core Imaging :(

do some more homework.. it supports core image 100% - they just disabled the dashboard "ripple" effect for preformance issues.

I ordered a Mini on the 30th of March, its slated to get here tomorrow :-D

I called apple this morning about tiger, and they were nice enough to ship me one for "Customer Satisfaction" purposes.

I did, however tell them, that I would just return the mini unopened and re-order so I would get tiger, so they are sending me the retail box of Tiger instead of me having to go through that :-D

Whoot whoot, Goodtimes from Apple for my first Mac Experiance.

Regarding paid updates.

To add to what has already been said, 10.3.x updates are analogous to service packs whereas a 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade is a completely new release. The 10.x numbers refer to a new "release" version however the kernel version is updated by a full version number from 7.x (in panther) to 8.x for Tiger. They have also added a completely new API called Core Image/Video which is a completely new Core API somewhat analogous to the Avalon system that longhorn will have. It will also include a new search API called Spotlight which is somewhat analogous to WinFS.

It should be noted that you can upgrade from Mac OS 9 through 10.3 directly to Tiger. People who held off for some reason from upgrading from Jaguar to Panther should definately upgrade to Tiger.

If Windows 2000 Pro to XP is considered a fair paid upgrade (5.0 to 5.1), then Tiger is most definately worth the paid upgrade price.

Tiger only costs $69 with an education discount plus $5 tax, making it 74 dollars with free shipping.  I say everyone pretend they are a student and buy it via the education store :-) That is how I bought mine of course I am a real student.

You just have to have your Student ID #

I think that is very similar to Windows 3.1 logo...just different colors. (95/98/2k logo rotated CCW) :whistle:

may be they're taking a shot at MS again :D

I turned Tiger inside-out looking for that icon. Can't find it anywhere.

God, I'm really p*ssed off about Tiger's interface! :angry:

585765219[/snapback]

...Why? It's just as inconsistent as Panther, only slightly more so. Besides, there is always Shapeshifter or ThemeChanger...TheneChanger being the first thing I install on my new OSes anyway...

I mean, I understand people being upset cause the interface is not as consistent as Mac OS 9...but really, we've all had since March 21, 2001 (that's what, four years) to get used to it being like that. If you don't like it, change it with one of the aforementioned apps. That is what they are for! :ninja:

Some windows are Aqua, some are 50% Plastic, 50% Aqua. Except for Mail there isn't an app 100% Aqua. The Mail Toolbar icon style is non-existent in the rest of the system. The Menubar style is once again different from Plastic. The copy/move etc. windows have an Aqua caption but are missing the stripes in the area below it, other than that there aren't any windows using Aqua without stripes.

It just looks weird...

I got a chance to get my hands on the gold release... and I have to admit people, its a bit disapointing... almost none of my software work with tiger! and for some reason all the icons have .app or .something the over all is faster though I'll give it that, but apart from that a little disapointing for so much hype

I see what you mean. Hopefully, however, Shapeshifter and the .guikit format will be updated to work with Tiger (quickly!) and we will be able to bring more consistency to the window appearances. I do know how you feel though, first thing I do is to change my theme to GoodGrey and dump all metal windows so that everything is consistent.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Nick H. · Posted

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.

      Everyone behaves like Internet Explorer just never happened and Edge is whole new thing all while Microsoft is pulling the exact same ###### it did back then. Sigh.
