Apple previewed yesterday Mac OS X Tiger. I haven’t watched the keynote but from the description, it does not contain a killer feature like Exposé for Mac OS X Panther.
The enhanced search engine, Spotlight, or Safari RSS may be interesting but I don’t think it is worth the price of Tiger when it is released.
All in all, that is a good thing that there is nothing I want badly from Tiger: I just got my PowerBook with Panther and I’d prefer to skip a release of Mac OS X. I’ll keep my bucks for Mac OS X.5 (whatever its name is!).

How about the Dashboard? I am thinking the upgrades are nice, but I agree that most could easily have been downloads and not a new OS release. But I do want the dashboard. Clean out that cluttered dock . . .

I haven’t had my PowerBook for a long time and I don’t need to get rid of the Dock… yet!
I tried Konfabulator recently and didn’t find its widgets really useful (but they look great). So I’m not sure that Dashboard will do something for me.
Since my blog, I saw a news that really sucks: Java 1.5 (or 5.0) will be released on Tiger. I’m waiting for an official position from Apple if they’ll also released Java 1.5 on Panther but I don’t hope much. That’d be a killer feature for Tiger but I’d be really upset to have to buy a new OS just to get a new version of Java…
