I installed Tiger on my iBook (700MHz G3), my desktop computer  
(733MHz G4), and my office computer (dual 1.8GHz G5), with absolutely  
no glitches. I love it! I like Spotlight a lot, but I love Dashboard.  
I feel that the overall operation of the computers is enhanced.  
Ironically, Safari seems to have slowed down some, but Firefox  
hasn't. We have it installed in three 20-station computer labs, but  
left it off a fourth lab because SPSS (a statistics package) hasn't  
updated to Tiger and doesn't run well. In that lab, we stayed at  
Panther.

It took me awhile to adapt to the new interface in Mail, but all the  
other apps are running just fine. My opinion: go for it.
