No I have not used or seen Tiger, well except for a few minutes at a 
local CompUSA Mac Store.

What made me think Tiger may be sub-par? Nothing really except what I 
read on Apple's site. All kinds of added goobers but no real discussion 
that I saw that would make me think that Tiger actually outperformed 
Panther in operating the system, ie, more powerful finder, faster 
finder, faster app launching, faster disk I/O, more efficient memory 
management, etc. That's all. I kinda thought if Apple could have said 
that, they would have.
