I've been playing around with OS X Tiger for a few hours. A few comments.
• Don't expect any performance from your system until the hard drive(s) have been indexed by Spotlight. This took about 2 hours on my iBook and 10 hours on my bursting-at-the-seams PowerMac G5.• Check out some of the QT videos Apple has made available. This version may set a record for sparse paper manuals. I don't understand why Apple doesn't make their online Tiger seminar widely available. It would make a great infomercial.
• A major flaw - the Spotlight interface does not allow nested boolean searches. The innards do. Apple needs to supply this functionality.
• The mail application struck me as ugly. The icons are just wrong. Changing the interface to "text only" makes a dramatic improvement
• Early benchmarks are positive.
• The Apple implementation of H.264 is outstanding.
My overall impression is very positive so far...
