anyone have mac osx tiger

anyone have mac osx tiger, how is it, shit looks dope.

its nice, it doesnt change graphically much unless you have a 64mb (core video) video card

alot of shit still isnt compatible with it, since theyve changed all their networking & kernel code, but its nice

im running it on an ibook g4 (1.2ghz, 768mb ram) and its faster than panther was. the widgets are nice too, ive got a tv guide, versiontracker and weather info widgets happening

whats not compatbile with it?

[The Watcher]

irssi (irc client), bittorrent client(s) (5 or 6), xfree86, glib libraries, nessus, practically anything that uses their networking or kernel code

unless you care about all the eye candy shit they put in, its not worth buying it

i have the 15" powerbook g4. you think the mac osx tiger would be a good buy?

would it make a lot of graphic changes for mine? thats all im pretty much looking for...
not lookin for anything super complex.

how old is it? if its got the 64mb video card then it'll be fine

apple shouldve released it as a update though, not worth payin the money for it. might want to check out if any of the apps you use all the time that apple dont make are compatible with it before upgrading. if you dont mind alot of shit not working, then go & upgrade
