Tiger a 'worthy' XP competitor, but a 'minor' upgrade

updated 12:50 pm EDT, Fri April 15, 2005

Tiger review by Thurrott

Self-confessed Mac fan Paul Thurrott (of WinSuperSite fame) says that Apple's Mac OS X Tiger operating system is a ). "Apple Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' is the strongest OS X release yet and a worthy competitor to Windows XP. Though it is marketed by Apple as a major release, Tiger is in fact a minor upgrade with few major new features, more akin to what we'd call a service pack in the Windows world. However, that won't stop Apple fans from flocking to Apple Stores on April 29 and standing in line to buy it, even at its inflated $129 price. That's fine, I guess: Tiger performs well, looks great, and offers many modern OS features."

"Tiger builds on the rock-solid foundation of previous OS X releases, adds a few major new features, and applies a nice spit polish to hundreds of other small features. Tiger may lack some of the niceties that make Windows more appealing to new users, but it does reward those with existing computer skills with a minimalist user interface that, as advertised, 'gets out of the way' and lets you get your job done."

Mac Fan?

If he's such a Mac fan, why doesn't he have a MacSuperSite?

Paul Turdrott is so full of it that he has no credibility as an honest journalist, or tech writer as he'd call it.

Please don't even give this guy, if he even exists, your time and attention.

Contradiction

It's interesting that features such as a metadata search engine and GPU-driven user interface are *minor* updates to Mac OS, but are supposed to be included in the next *major* release of Windows. That's just a bit of a contradiction.

I call BS

What a worthless review. It reads like the only thing the guy knows about Tiger is what Apple's marketing pages say.

He only has a surface understanding of computing. He says Dashboard is the same as Konfabulator, which shows he only looks at features and not technical specs. Dashboard widgets are revolutionary because of how they combine XML and Javascript. He doesn't even mention this.

What kind of idiot reviews Tiger without even mentioning the changes under the hood? Hello, Paul Thurott! You never even used the word "Core" as in "Core Image" or "Core Video." And where's the discussion of the new video codec? Or any other details?

He thinks Spotlight and Dashboard are the only two selling points for Tiger! What a fool. Apparently, the only things that are important are eye candy. The important changes with Tiger are all internal, and all this guy can see are the shallow externalities.

Core Image is far from being a minor update.

Internal changes

Tiger is more about internal changes than external. Soon I suspect we'll see programs that will only run on Tiger because the older versions of OS X don't have the capabilities necessary to run these programs. Core Image, Core Video, 64bit throughout, the new metadata system, etc. are all worthy. It looks as though Longhorn might not be all it's hyped up to be either, since most of the major changes are being released to XP users anyway.

Nope, I can only think of one windows nicety that isn't in OSX. The sheer amount of programs available for windows (some of which are actually decent, too).

Where are Thurotts Forums

What we should do is to descend upon Thurotts's forums and help set the record straight. I looked, but I don't see where he allows any reader feedback, other than direct email to himself (and that won't help). Anyone have a link?

Business

I wonder why he didn't mention the recent PC World story. The one that says that 75% of business XP users refused to manually upgrade to SP2 for fear everything would break. I'm sure their next OS will be very user friendly. Longshot will probably have an activation system wherein you have to call MS for permission everytime you boot the computer.

Gosh...

...and here we all thought Service Packs were for the giant godforsaken holes MS leaves in every shipping version of its operating system. We call those security updates and we get them within days of needing them instead of months or years.

Incredible

How does he continue to be employed when writing this kind of garbage? This has got to be the stupidest thing I've seen in a while.

Perhaps Mr. Turdrot needs to check out this page from Apple if he's not sure of the new features in Tiger and whether or not it's a "minor" update:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/newfeatures/newfeatures.html

What a waste of journalism.

Sets bait, massages egos

From the MacNN report, Paul is setting bait to get the Mac faithful all stirred up and over to see how fabulous his writing says Microsoft's future shipping products will be.

It seems he's been sniffing Longhorn so long he's completely forgotten what XP is like. Obviously if the OS isn't task centred, like Microsoft's it can't be advanced. The name Paul Thurrott should be a suspect an author as the Microsoft shill Mary-Jo Foley who wrote anti-OS/2 slanted "news" pieces during the 90's PC desktop battle.

This piece is clearly aimed at could-be switchers to keep them in line and pacify their ego's need to be reassured they're not missing anything by having chosen Microsoft's OS offerings and, likely, running 'teh l33t' alpha-level Longhorn.

Jawdropping

What makes Tiger such an extraordinary achievement is not just the huge amount of technical improvements such as the Core-stuff, 64bit, Spotlight etc. but the fact that it provides a whole raft of 'out-of-the-box' 'under-the-hood' features that will have a profound effect on the applications that are developed for OS X. Both in what can be developed and how they'll be developed.

It may take some time for developers to realise how to fully exploit Tiger but I believe that we'll end up with a platform that changes the way we work and provides no-contest compelling reasons for switchers.

64-bit?

"What part of '64 bit' does this guy not understand ?"

What part of "64-bit is no big deal" do people not understand?

The only reason 64-bit is a big deal for Windows is that the x86 API is such a pile of rotting used food that any excuse to shed some of the stupider design flaws can only improve performance tremendously.

For the Power PC, Altivec already gives you a 128 bit integer word size, and if you're running into the 32-bit memory barrier you know about... and almost nobody is...

How can you go from a 32 bit operating system to a 64 bit operating system and still be considered a minor upgrade?

What a clown

Is this for real? The windows world does not call this kind of an update a service pack what a clown. MS releases SP's to try and finish off what they started but they just end up s******* it up even more. LOL this guy has no idea of how much OS X has changed I couldn't believe it when I started reading some of the new features, this one totally blew me away http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/family/
If MS was to release just the one thing I just posted a link to it would be a major OS Update for them man MS is already dropping features of their Longshot OS daily just so they can get it out sooner incomplete but will release the PATCHES or SP in the future, man what a a** backwards company.

Flame bait flame bait

I love it when Macnn editors postsn obvious flamebait article to rile up the crowds a little on a Friday afternoon.

You get a bunch of people who don't get it (that it is a non-news) posting pages of pages of rebuttals to people who already use Macs and know what the advantages OS X has. It is like a big mututal a**-kissing fest.

"OMFG, the guy is so nuts. OS X Tiger is so much better and this and that."

"Yeah, I totally agree with you. Don't forget about ths and that too."

*** hugs and kisses ** (warm feeling all around)

This guy says he's a "self-confessed MAC FAN??!???

That's absurd. This guy has written dozens of "Apple has minutes to live" articles, and treats every new Apple things as either minor or irrelevant. He is among the least least credible anti-mac people I have ever seen. This is nothing more than an attempt to pretend he likes what he sees in a backhanded way, while really further support to his general "whatever MS does is genius" perspective.

Dvorak is a Mac fan compared to this guy.

$129 feels like a lot of money for what's listed on Apple's main page. I'll pay it, yes, but I'm a little tired of these $129 OS X updates.

Not to bad for Thurott

I've gotta admit, although he has written an amazing amount of total BS in the past, this was one of Thurott's better articles about anything Mac. The article is actually fairly complimentary, except for the occasional slip-up here and there into Thurott's usual anti-Mac knee-jerks and idiot comparisons to a not-yet-available Longhorn.

hey dumb dumb, read this: http://www.apple.com/macosx/overview/advancedtechnology.html

i won't bother listing all of the other major features like automator or coreimage.

$129 is cheap for almost any software, much less a major os update. order it from amazon if you're that cheap.

It is a "minor" update

We've gotten so used to getting big overall improvements with each new version of Mac OS X that we forget it is still OS X not 11. It is a + 0.1 version upgrade. Its major enough but not change the way the OS works major.

The review is not entirely bad, but some comments are so far from reality that its trully amazing. Particularly the last sentence of the review where he says "Tiger may lack some of the niceties that make Windows more appealing to new users..." windows more apealing, to new users? The only thing that apeals news users to windows is that they don't know any better. What features other than it being the OS of the majority of the other computers out there in the world does windows have to make it apealing? (Big exception here, new users looking for a computer as a toy to play computer GAMES. And even these users could care less for windows if their games didn't require it. Gamers would gladly buy the most powerfull toaster if their game was available in that platform and played well on it.)

He also talks about "...[Tiger] does reward those with existing computer skills with a minimalist yet elegant user interface...". Ok so here he's saying tiger is rewarding to experienced OS X users, big surprise there. But this comment completely misses the point that the OS X user interface and user experience is much easier on new users than any other OS out there now.

The last part of his comment however is right "... If you can look past Apple's corporate bravado, you'll see that Tiger is one impressive cat. And unlike Longhorn, it's shipping now. What a concept". I would say its not entirely bad coming from a WinSuperSite, what do you expect. Truthfully, I really think that last sentence is the worst offender in the entire review, since its reinforcing the misconception among clueless new users that windows has "apealing features".

From a Recent PC Convert

Being a PC-"poweruser" (not a programmer, mind you) for almost 15 years I recently made a switch to the MAC.

All I can say is that a pretty interface is not worth much if it gets in the way of getting things done. Lets also mention constant degragmenting, uninstalls and reinstalles, registry corruptions, and having to install dozens of software to battle spyware (thus, reducing performance).

Windows has ingrained certain bad habbits in me unfortunately, such as trying to find the most complicated way of accomplishing the simplest of tasks. For instance, something as simple as reducing icon and font sizes on the Desktop. I am struggling with this since things on the MAC are more sensible, i.e. while viewing the desktop click on view and then on Show View Options.

I am not very technology savy to comment on Tiger's specs but from what I have seen of the mac so far, I feel even Panther is leaps ahead of Windows XP.

64 bit

As much as I still think this guy "Paul" is a moron, and Tiger is still worth the upgrade. I have to say I am glad he posted. Had he not, I wouldn't have blabbed my mouth off "What part of 64 bit does he not understand?". You see I was somehow had it in my head 64 bit was huge! and as pointed out by "resuna" I guess it's not. Thanks rusana. Although it represents a signifigant upgrage by Apple it appears the benefits to the average users are not there. I am in the market for a new mac, I was going to buy a powerbook. When I heard the news the the iMac G5 was going to get 128 vram I thought : "that's it I'm going to buy an iMac G5 - imagine 64 bit with 128 graphics!" - duh - So as you can see I am really glad this jackass Paul put the page up, and "resuna" told me so... some of you know this, but non techies like me don't always get it. As I understand it - In order for 64 bit to possibly benefit 'users' you would need to have more than 4gb ram. The iMac G5 maxes out at 2GB. Correct me if anyone see's this as wrong - as I stated, I am not a techie : refer to my posting in forum: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=251797&page=2

Thanks, Paul I am going back to buying a powerbook !

Yea a real antiMac fan. And so full of B.S. too! Tiger a minor release?
I don't think so. If he knew anything about Tiger he would know he has his head up his you know what. He writes one B.S. story after another about Apple and never has any facts or writes a real true story. I don't know how he makes his living but I know one thing he knows nothing about Apple or Macs and what they are about.

Tiger is a POINT release

WinXP was a major release
Longhorn will be a major release
Microsoft don't charge for point releases (apart from the WinME debacle !)

Tiger is a point release, not a major release. Sure it's a pretty big point release and does include some great new features but if it was such a big deal for Apple why wasn't it OSX-11 ?

64 bit for most people is totally irrelevant until there is a pool of applications which take advantage of it (and a hardware base that supports it) - MS have a working 64bit version of WinXP that's stable and works well - but again, only really useful with apps that support it.

Tiger is more that a simple service pack but it's less than a full blown release and it doesn't change my view that Apple are fleecing the faithful in the same way they have with 10.2 and 10.3 which were more about fixing bugs and improving performance than anything radical. The total lack of upgrade pricing (something that MS do offer even for major releases) is a little disappointing

That said... because I like the shiny new toy feeling an installation will give me I can see myself getting it at the end of the month ! Or maybe waiting and see what the first few days of problems, and 10.4.1, bring !

Sorry Guys but he Could

be right on this one. Tiger beeing a minor og major upgrade really depends on what kind of user you are thinking about. I as a poweruser am really exited about getting my new Mac mini with Tiger. And I am looking forward to diving into a great number of the improvements, but Jo Average might not be. Yes Spotlight does make it easier to find your things And Poul does Adknowlege that. Yes Core Images is cool and powerusers as well as software companies might be able to create something cool, but Joe does not need that kind of power. It is nice to have not need to have. Dashboard will I need to try it before I can decide and a lot of the features might not be worth much for Us in Europe. Looking at the review as what does it means for Joe and his Like I acually thinks Poul is right when he claimes XP 2 is A bigger upgrade than Tiger. You see XP server pack 2 is a need to have upgrade because it BREAKS a lot of badly written high security risk software because it no longer alowes software to only beeing run a Administrator. The Firewall does close a lot of the ports that turns XP and win 2000 machiens into mindless zoombies. We as Mac OS X users are not used to having a operating system that alowes software that need to run under a admin account. A admin account that is like root but with the added "bonus" of being able to remote install software on the machine without knowing the password. The Facts that XP breaks a lot of software that needs this is a big security improvement on the Wintel platform. I think that is a bigger improvement than the improvement Joe gets from upgrading from Panther to Tiger.

Does that mean I think XP is a better operating system than Panther and Tiger. By no means. But XP Service packs 1 poor security records made XP serverpack 2 upgrade a need to have and that is the main reason it is free. We get a nice to have upgrade. It costs but nobody is forcing us to buy it and Joe might not find the nice to have features valueble enough to upgrade.

Ps sorry for my spelling Mistakes but I am not english speaking

Not just for pros

Security fixes should be the last thing Joe Agerage should be concerned about. An average user doesn't (and shouldn't) give a damn about firewalls or administrator accounts. 90% of features SP-2 brought to Windows XP (bug and security fixes, firewall) should have been there in the first place. If there's anything XP users felt after installing it, it was relief, not excitement. Whereas Tiger brings dozens of new or updated major features that will be of interest for the average user - to mention Spotlight, Dashboard, Safari RSS, Mail 2.0, Parental Controls, iChat AV, .Mac syncing - and hundreds (literally) minor ones. Not only pros and geeks get excited about Tiger.

Koyder you are absolutly

Right about the fact that XP should have had the security improvements from the start but the sad fact is. IT DID NOT HAVE THAT IN PLACE FROM THE START. Pluging those holes with the much needed and as it should be free Service Pack 2 are giving us a better computer experince as well. Why because it will kill a lot of the spamboots and hopefully decrease the waist of bandweight. You are also right about the fact that there is a lot of nice to have features to get excited about, but because you and I get excited about them does not mean Joe Will. Othervise he would be on the platform all ready. I do not think Tiger will make a lot of switches. Mac Mini will. Tiger will be the application that keeps them on a mac. Automator looks like beeing a great feature in Tiger, but unless Joe has a lot of taske he repeat alot, it isn�t something he would have much use for.

Ape's house

Does Paul remind anyone of Cro-Mag Rally? He looks like one of the cavemen. hehe Mac OS X Tiger is a release and you can take it from there. Whether you buy it is entirely up to you but it is important to understand that Windows XP SP-2 did not take advantage of the existing PC hardware. I am sure I am not talking to Windows users when I say Apple has released products that blow the competition away even before Mac OS X was released. It still is doing it today with Tiger and its existing and new hardware. I never thought my iMac G3 would even make it to Panther with its dinky 8mb VRAM. But it did and performs great! Say that about a Windows XP machine with old hardware.
