The only significant problem I noticed was that the computers seemed to run into slight, but greater-than-normal, delays from time to time. Certain functions, like Spotlight searches and the updated Safari Web browser, were very fast. But with other tasks, I noticed more spinning beach-ball icons, Apple's symbol for delays, than I had with the prior Panther version of the Mac operating system. In particular, the built-in e-mail program, Apple Mail, was slower. There was a perceptible lag in opening a new e-mail form, beginning a reply, and displaying the drop-down contact list that appears when you begin typing in an e-mail address. Apple acknowledges it will need to tweak Tiger to eliminate the delays, and it promises to address the problem within a few months. It might be wise for users with older, slower Mac models to wait until then to upgrade to Tiger. I received and installed Tiger on Monday. I have a G 5 Dual 2.5 with 2.5G of RAM and this IS a problem for me. I work mainly with Adobe CS. When I switch between Illustrator, InDesign and PhotoShop, the delays are there and are VERY annoying and slow the work flow down significantly. Other than that, the OS seems to be very stable so far and some irritating finder glitches have been resolved.
