Silly Survey Sunday: Have you upgraded to Tiger?
Now that the dust settled, how many of you have actually made the jump to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger? If you haven't upgraded yet, but you want to - what's the biggest thing that's holding you back?
Is it the handful of critical applications that still don't function properly (or at all) under the new OS? Is it corporate policy? Is it the expense? Are you still recovering from the Panther upgrade?
Or are you just not that into Tiger?

I just don't see the value in it. $199 AUD is pretty hefty. I'm just going to hang out 'till after the WWDC to see if a G5 PowerBook is launch and upgrade then (I'll get better value as I also get iLife '05 bundled). Else I'll get a iMac.

It sucks really, I had preordered well before I got into this project, and then the timing just couldn't have been worse. Next weekend hopefully!

The main thing making me want to update is Dashboard and I probably shouldn't plunk down $99+ just for that. The other big feature is Spotlight, but I'm a pretty organized person already (at least my computer self is) so I can't see myself needing that too often.

May 23 2005 at 3:31 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyUnfortunately I haven't been able to upgrade yet due to the cost. I don't think $129 is overpriced, it's just a little much for someone in my situation for something that isn't absolutely nessisary. I really want to upgrade though, and I'm sure I'll be doing it within a month or two.
