Who still uses 10.4 Tiger?
 

Take the poll!

Results

I still use Tiger! I must be the only person left in the world who still uses 10.4!

What about you guys?

Everyone obviously as the poll says that 100% still use Tiger. Perhaps the statistical universe is still a bit small ( 1 person). :D

lol 2:1 to "No" now :D

As we know from various posts, some people are still using Jaguar and Panther, so my guess is that the number of people continuing to us Tiger is still pretty large. The advantages of Leopard are not -so- overwhelming as to have people spending money if they perceive that Tiger is serving their needs adequately. So, this is one poll is see relatively little significance for the results, even if they were statistically significant. Apple may care, of course, but that's a marketing issue.

According to Apple at the WWDC, I think something like 20% of all Mac users are using Leopard, and the rest are using a mix of everything else.

I suspect well over 50% of all serious FileMaker users do, because Leopard + FileMaker is a rather disastrous combo even yet.

On my main computer, I use Leopard. But on my back up iBook I use Tiger because the hardware cannot handle Leopard.

I'm split 50/50 for the same reasons as Irene stated above - one on Leopard and one on Tiger.

We've still got 10.3 running around the office. Main issue holding us back is Spotlight won't search the server's volumes until we get 10.5 Server. We have 10.5 on one test machine, primarily for FileMaker - haven't noticed any issues yet, but then it's FileMaker 7, not 9.

Our accounting software is Aatrix Accounting, a Classic application :eek:

I still think Tiger is too good to move on from ... I've read that Leopard has *broken* Automator but that could/could not be hearsay ...

"Having said that, I will now say this ... "

Now that Leopard is up to 10.5.4 (or whatever ... ) and bearing in mind my tax refund is due soonish ... hmmmnn .... :D

Then again ... there's Leopard Cub ..... (Joke Joyce!)

Still need to access OS 9 via classic often enough to prevent switching to Leopard

I would be using Tiger if my MacBook could do so. But unfortunately, I am trapped with Leopard.

Home Unit #1 - Tiger
Home Unit #2 - Leopard (with some regrets)
Home Unit #3 - Panther (Blue iMac)
Work Unit #1 - Tiger

Our compute cluster is still Tiger - That's 95 computers.

I have a small development cluster of 6 towers and one mini. All but one tower are Tiger, the exception is Leopard Server.

At home I have a tower with tiger, one MBP with tiger, and one MBP with Leopard.

I say that I prefer tiger right now. :D

hell, i still run 10.3 on two machines, and have only 'upgraded' to 10.4 on my laptop because that's what came on it.

IMO, you are a sucker if you upgrade past the dotrev that came on your machine. every time i have done so in the past, i get the feeling that my computer is getting 'slow'. when i stay with the most current update of the 'animal' that came with my computer, it runs as fast as the day i got it.

posted from 10.3.9 and happy.

I am inclined to agree with you in the modern (10.3++) era, but it's only true recently. Computers that came with Jaguar (10.2) were appreciably faster under Panther (10.3); computers that came with Puma (10.1) were spectacularly faster under Jaguar and quite a bit faster than that under Panther. Tiger was a mixed bag: some folks with older hardware reported their computers were faster under Tiger than Panther, others said their computers ran slower.

Leopard is really the first edition of MacOS X that really won't run on older hardware not because it's not supported (the way a WallStreet PowerBook is not supported by Tiger) but because the OS would bring the older hardware to its knees, whimpering.

A tiny handful of people with G4 and G5 computers (usually dual-processor models with lots and lots of RAM) have reported that Leopard feels faster than Tiger, but most folks say no, it's slower.

is it possible to run Time Machine on Tiger?

I'm on Tiger but I really need to upgrade to Leopard for speed and the cool widget dock.

Plus, the Time Machine feature looks awesome and would really help out my projects, as my memory is horrible and I'm always misplacing files.

Maybe with some hackish workaround, but highly unlikely.

Not really related to this thread - and you already posted this question in another thread!

Excusssssse meeeeeeee

I'm a graphics professional. I use a PPC G5 with two drives and two partitions on each - one Tiger, one Leopard. The plan was to ease myself into Leopard gradually. 10.5.4 is pretty much there. I have one oddity: InDesign CS3. I have a six-page file with lots of placed images. In Tiger, it takes 15 seconds to open. In Leopard, the same file takes 2 minutes, 30 seconds to open. ???

As a result, I have yet to decide to commit fully to Leopard.

you must be new here. i thought everyone knew that was apple's way of telling you it's time to buy a new computer ;)

freelunch: Do you have enough memory?

Cudaboy – I don't need an excuse or encouragement to buy a new computer, just the cash.

Baf – 8 gigabytes. When I saw how "cheap" RAM was for my G5, I maxed it out. I had to throw away six 512 sticks to free up slots.

I have imac tiger, ibook tiger, powerbook tiger and no plans of switching anytime soon. Besides, I use my computers very little these days so I don't see the point in switching.
