Are you using Tiger yet, and if so what do you think?

Actually, both my Macs are still on Panther at the moment, since I’ve spent all my spare time testing stuff on a pre-release version of Tiger I don’t have time to backup, backup my backups and switch over yet. However, I have been using various builds of Tiger for almost the last year (installed on a Firewire drive) and I think it’s fantastic. I’ve already found plenty of use for Dashboard, played around a-plenty with the updated Mail, Safari, Spotlight, Automator etc and here on Panther I’m missing the new features already.

What I really can’t wait to do is start to move my apps over to Tiger and take advantage of some of the amazingly cool stuff Apple has put there for developers. Over the next few months I think you’re going to see some incredible applications appear for 10.4.

Update: I couldn’t take it any more, I upgraded all my machines (I like the Archive and Install method) and installed Panther on my Firewire drive for compatibility testing – the joys of being a developer.

It’s all been pretty event-free apart from a problem with my iMac not automatically joining the Airport network. The answer, which I found in Apple’s Support Discussions, is here.
