The good: New Finder features; better interface responsiveness and overall speed, even on legacy hardware; Safari includes improved performance and RSS; QuickTime 7.0 offers higher-resolution video; new Automator allows systemwide scripting; Core Data and Core Image open up new opportunities to developers; better cross-platform compatibility.
The bad: Most upgrades are hidden under the hood; features the average user will notice, such as Mail, clash with Apple's own user interface design; some features are unavailable on hardware older than a year or two.
The bottom line: Though its new user features have mixed appeal, Tiger's technological changes and speed improvements make this an enticing upgrade, especially for those who passed on Panther.

Summary: Apple Mac OS X is by far the best operating system hands down in todays market. With build in features such as, Spotlight, Finder, Dashboard, Safari RSS, iChat AV, Automator, Parental Controls and Mail, Mac OS X is by far years ahead of Windows XP or even Windows Vista. Spotlight lets you find anything on your computer as you start typing, iChat AV let you have live video chat sessions without having to have an expensive camera (iSight cameras are built into the iMac, MacBook and Macbook Pro)and Dashboard, which give you thousands of widgets at the click of a button. OS X can run by itself with the help of automator, which downloads or sets specific task to be done on a daily basis. Then there is Safari. One of the most easy to use web browsers to use. Tiger is the OS of today and tomorrow and at only $129 through the Apple Store, its a steal for an operating system of the future.
