It is interesting to note that, at least in the UK, Tiger is actually £10 cheaper than the current price for Panther (the previous release). They're also giving those who order now access to an exclusing "Online Seminar", which sounds quite interesting. I can't wait until next month when my copy arrives

1 copy @ $130 X 2 = $260
2 copies @ $200 = $60 saving.
I won't even mention that in your haste to copy & paste you forgot to update the correct prices for more than 2 copies each.

Heh. Version 10.4.1 should be called Tiger Uppercut.

Sure thing. Here you go:
It's total shit on the Athlon XP 2500+. You can't even get it to boot up. Less functionality than either Linux or Windows.
I hear it works much better on other platforms, specifically Apple-built PPC systems, but you will have to look at other reviews for that information.

How many times have you asked the typical Windows user what OS they run?
My computer runs Microsoft. And AOL sent me the Internet on a CD.

Nope, what does "accerated" mean?
And for accelerated, the code is still as such. It isn't running on the raw CPU using simple int/float operations but is in fact running on the much better AltiVec unit using SIMD instructions, yo. This of course means that CoreImage code running on the AltiVec units will be faster than CoreImage code running on the raw CPU. To me, that means accelerated
