  • Oh, and Apple has not forsaken Metal. They're still converting some apps to it: Keychain Access in Tiger is now metal. Makes no sense, but it's metal now.

    Where for art thou, Brushed Al?
  • "Surely there wasn’t that big a backlash against Brushed Al?" If you are unaware of how many people hate the Brushed Metal interface design, you shouldn't be writing this article. Folks have been complaining about it ever since QuickTime 4 and Sherlock 2 on OS 9.

  • How about a return of some pre-OS X features that were useful: File Synchronization The Trash contains xx items totaling xxMB Programmable F-keys Location Manager WindowShade File Sharing Monitor Put URLs of downloaded files in Notes area of Get Info window Print Finder windows Make resize button work correctly and consistently Or how about returning some features from OS X that were removed in Tiger: Control-Tab to switch columns in list view Customizable Toolbar in System Preferences Return default browser/mail settings from Safari/Mail to System Preferences Drop items in to folders using window titlebars

    Anticipating Leopard
  • "Supported" is a misleading word. On Tiger's box, it means Apple will not support you if you call them up with a problem. OWC, however, does support the processor upgrade and has certified that it will work with Tiger.

    PowerLogix compatible with Tiger, should I upgrade?
  • What version of 10.4 are you using where Safari isn't metal? Safari has always been metal and is one of the few apps to do it right besides iTunes. Otherwise I completely agree with the inconsistent GUI gripe. I mean, they turned the freakin' Keychain application metal! Also, why do you consider it good that StuffIt Expander no longer launches to uncompress .sit files? Now I have to do it manually instead. How is that better for the end user?
