Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger review

Monday 14 November 2005, 11:16 AM

Top notch professional Unix-based OS

I am one of those people who moved from a Wintel platform to the Mac and OS X. Compared to Windows XP, OS X is far more stable and intuitive. My biggest complaint is that the Finder (rough equivalent to the Windows Explorer) is still quite basic and in not nearly as good as the XP counterpart. However with the OS X spotlight searching, you find yourself using Finder less and less anyway but Apple still need to revamp it to make it better at moving files around.

Verdict

Although its new user features have mixed appeal, Tiger's technological changes and speed improvements make this an enticing upgrade, especially for those who passed on Panther.

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
