So, who went out and is running OSX Tiger?

I had to rebuild my website, resetup httpd.conf, reinstall SQL, PHP, and import the SQL database, as well as all of my software and preferences -- like my mailbox, my address book, etc because I wanted to do a *format* and install, so I could start 100% clean and fresh.

Needless to say, I was dreading it. Thinking it'd take me forever, because you know how it is -- you always run into unforseen problems, especially when it involves SQL and importing databases, onto a new Operating System.

Well, it took me 45 minutes from start to finish.

Oh, and Tiger is fast as shit -- noticably faster than Panther 10.3.9.

just upgraded...


w00t w00t!

 

I took a look at the list new of new and updated features, and WHOA. The OSX interface (called Aqua, if I'm not mistaken) is light years ahead of Windows.

 

And this is news? h:

 

how so

 

Here's a list of new features:

Among my favorites are

Dashboard
Access mini-applications called Widgets with just the touch of a key — everything from a calculator and stock tracker to weather report and address book.

Smart Folders
Take the results of a Spotlight search and save it as a Smart Folder that automatically updates as you add or remove documents from your Mac.

Automator
Easily automate complex and repetitive tasks without any programming — just like having a personal robot inside your computer.

 

im loving the widgets. actually put one to use right away h:

 

Well..after about a day after using 10.4, Im glad I upgraded early. Couldn't pass up the $109 deal at Fry's.

I put the DVD and Quictiime 7 to use. Both running very smooth, even at resizing the window. I want to see how the H.264 to use...but there isnt much media out there yet.

I've already used the Dashboard many times. Weather, dictionary, calculator, phonebook and itunes widgets. very very cool. there are many more to download too.

seems like 10.4 sped up and fixed the signal strength from my airport express. before on 10.3.9, i was running 50% signal strength. right now, im at full strength.

i havent put safari to use yet. i've tried the RSS features, which is quite informative and convienient. i've been using firefox with my custom tweaks. but safari is a bit better noticibably.

i also havent used the automator feature yet either. from the looks of it... it seems very powerful

spotlight is just badass. cant say more than that.

i wish i had iSight and friends with iSight. the multi way video confrencing in H.264 quality video with 6 people is amazing.


more to come soon!
