PC World today named Mac OS X Tiger the "Best Operating System" in its 100 Best Products of 2005. Here's the relevant bit about Tiger: "Tiger's big new addition--to what was already a well-engineered Mac operating system--is Spotlight, a speedy, well-integrated tool for searching your hard drive. And it's the best-looking OS around. In other words, Mac fans are already enjoying the cool features that Windows won't deliver until late 2006."Now, what may come as a surprise to all of you, especially considering my incessant complaining about little bugs in Tiger, is that I completely agree with this. Tiger is the best OS out there. However, as most things that are the best, Tiger could still be better.

For all it's shortcomings, Tiger is still faster than Panther, more complete than Linux, and far less of a pain the the neck than Windows. I agree with PC World, Tiger has raised the bar for all operating system that will come after it.

All to often it is easy to compare what you would like with what you have than it is the reality of comparing what you have with what you had.
Tiger is not perfect, but then what is?

Best products of 2005, and it's only June. Think what their list might look like if they waited an entire year!!

being the best of a bad bunch is not really an achievement and not what apple should be aiming for.

I'm a believer in Tiger. I've installed it on 8 machines now and everything is working great.
