Pros Easy installation, powerful new features
Cons Expensive, system requirements
Recommended it? Yes

I've never loved my Macintosh more than I do today. I installed Mac OS X Version 10.4 this morning, and Tiger truly lives up to the hype.

Why is it a Tiger?

I don't know why, but every MacOS X release is named after a big cat (10.0 was Cheetah, 10.1 Puma, 10.2 Jaguar, 10.3 Panther, and now 10.4 Tiger). The logic of Apple's catty ways may be slightly confusing until one references the Oxford dictionary:

Cons I don't love Windows Media Center, which come with it.
Recommended it? Yes

How important is your operating system to your PC? I'm no computer scientist or guru, but I know that the operating system forms the foundation or environment in which other programs operate or run. Over the years, since I was a college student during the 1980s, operating systems have evolved from... Read full review »
