Tiger: have you upgraded?

my mac at work was running 9.2. that was replaced with a mac running tiger. i have panther at home. all things being equal, i prefer panther.

Shouldn't the question be: "What Mac OS are you using?" Since 9.2 is NOT Mac OS X. Neither is Other. BTW I am running Tiger at work and at home. L

*Panther rocks! (besides, I'm poor). *I've always wanted a Jaguar, and now that I have it, I don't want to give it up (besides, I've been poor for a long time). Maybe I fail to get the humor is this, but it just seems like it's in 'poor' taste. I have Tiger running on my iMac and several machines (demos) a work, and it just doesn't run as stable and fast as Panther on my iBook. I didn't upgrade because I was poor. I didn't upgrade because Tiger does not satisfy my needs. Poor has nothing to do with it. Seriously, what was wrong with just putting * 10.3 Panther * 10.2 Jaguar No smart-aleck comments, just plain and simple?

You left out an option: Panther: because my mission-critical apps (like VPN software) aren't Tiger-compatible yet.

I am on Tiger after installing it the day it came in the mail. Still, I am going back. The added overhead of Tiger features leaves my 1.25GHz Powerbook feeling like more my enemy and less my friend. I am a grad student who processes MRI scans with my 'book at home, and Tiger has increased my processing times significantly. YMMV - IANAEngineer...

I'm bit confused with the poll results, I'm still with Phanter. There's some part of me that really wants to try Tiger, however I really apreciate bug free OS's, makes me feel safe. To be honest I'm 100% satisfied with Phanter and I really need a good reason, of course apart spotlight, to make the upgrade. Maybe I've missed something, but, does the daily software applications all of you usually use run faster with Tiger? My point is, if you work in an office environment with a mac why spend money on Tiger? I understand that devoted guys like us really want to be up to date with apple inovations, but I can say that it was much easier for me to decide buying Ilife 05 than choosing Tiger from day one.

I'm still on Panther because Tiger is buggy, as I expected. Once they fix the problems (if ever), I'll upgrade. Especially the problem with Spotlight trying to automatically index external hard drives. I shouldn't have to hack my own computer for basic things.

seems to me that asking a bunch of people who follow a blog devoted to all things mac is hardly getting a sample of "average" users.

Hope this works better for people now. After some wrangling with out poll host, I think one of each is the best option.

tiger is disappointing. frankly, i'm only using tiger because it came with my powerbook; it's buggy, and i don't see the so-called "200 new features", dashboard is trivial and i don't use it, spotlight is ok though, automator is useless. the finder needs an overall, of all things they could've changed, and it feels like it hasn't been worked on at all. lots of annoying bugs that make me wish i was still on panther.
