Paul Thurrot reviews Tiger

By Scott McNulty

Paul Thurrot runs Paul Thurrot's SuperSite for Windows, and as such is known as something of a Windows guru. He is also a self proclaimed Mac fan, though he does spend an inordinate amount of time using Microsoft software.

Paul got his hands on a copy of Tiger, and he put it through its paces and he seemed rather lukewarm to the whole thing. He claims that there are only two big improvements in Tiger, Spotlight and Dashboard.

Overall, Paul isn't too excited by what he sees, 'Despite its lengthy development time, and promises of ever slower Mac OS X upgrade releases in the future, this new system isn't a big enough upgrade over previous OS X releases to warrant much excitement. Once you get past the few major new features for end users–primarily Spotlight and Dashboard, neither one of which exactly changes the competitive landscape very much–there's very little real meat in Tiger.'
