Today I got my copy of Mac OSX 10.4 "Tiger" and upgraded my powerbook to the new version. The upgrade was suprisingly simple and straightforward. My favorite is the Spotlight feature, an instant search capability that dynamically limits results as you type the text. I am guessing this is Apple's answer to Microsoft's desktop search engine designed to ship with Longhorn. If you want to be instantly impressed, try the new Dashboard application launched with Tiger. It comes with 3 widgets built in: Calculator, Date-Time and Weather. You can add additional widgets by dragging them from the Dashboard sidebar. For e.g I added the Flight Tracker widget that helps you to track flights of all the airlines using a single app. Ain't that cool?
Besides that, there's the iChat AV that now supports audio-video chat and is compatible with open source jabber IM as well as AIM. Now I have to figure out a way to get my hands on an iSight camera to try out the 3-way video conferencing.
I also ran the latest Chandler code on Tiger and it came up with no additional tweaks.
