Tiger Unleashed

Meet the world’s most advanced operating system. Again. Instantly find what you’re looking for. Get information in an instant with a single click. Mac OS X Tiger delivers 200+ new features which make it easier than ever to find, access and enjoy everything on your computer.

The new Dashboard hosts nifty mini-applications called widgets that appear instantly and keep you up to date with timely information from the Internet. View stocks, check weather forecasts, track flights, convert currency and units of measure, even look up businesses in the phone book. Similar to Exposé, the Dashboard zooms across your Desktop at the click of a function key. Your favorite widgets appear with up-to-the-second information, then disappear just as easily, so you can get back to what you were doing.

Spotlight illuminates every corner of your Mac, searching across the Finder, System Preferences and Mac OS X applications including Mail and Address Book. Perform a Spotlight Finder search that goes beyond mere filenames and location to scour content and metadata. Find the location of setting controls in System Preferences by running a Spotlight keyword search. Set up Smart Mailboxes according to Spotlight queries – email with specific contacts, email about a particular keyword – and Mail files away your messages automatically. Create Smart Groups in Address Book using Spotlight searches on card content including birthdays, anniversaries and location. Everything on your Mac gets a chance to shine.

….And Guess what? We got Tiger running on our school’s iMac.
