[X4U] Let's start the FUD presses.

Thurrot's piece discusses only 'features' and concludes they aren't 
that big an advance. Tiger's big advances are in the basics, like 
optimizing for the IBM PPC 970 series and beyond, Core Image, and other 
optimizations to various foundation classes that improve performance. 
Core Image should prove to be a big deal for Apple's key video and 
graphics customers and opens the door for Macs to be a much more 
competitive platform for games and other consumer entertainment 
purposes.

We should start a pool, btw, to pick the date when Thurrot flip-flops 
and claims 10.4 is a milestone in OS evolution.
