Simply connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable, and the Assistant will transfer all of your personal data, settings, and files.

If you're not only migrating to Mac Tiger OS but also moving to a new Mac, the Mac OS X Tiger Setup Assistant makes this task, thankfully, much easier than it was in the past. The whole process takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the contents of your hard drive. It's at this point that Tiger starts indexing all of the file data and metadata on your hard drive for later use in Spotlight searches. After another reboot, Tiger presents a professionally produced welcoming video that leads you through an optional registration process, then you're done.

Installing Mac Tiger OS is easy: Load the Tiger disc, click an installer icon, and, with the disc still in the drive, the computer automatically reboots into the Tiger installer.Īs with previous versions of Mac OS X, the installer offers three options: upgrade from a previous version of Mac OS X (this saves all your data and settings) erase and install if you want to eradicate all data on the computer's hard drive or archive and install, which saves all of your system data to a special folder and puts a clean install of Tiger on your computer (you can copy all of your settings and data from that folder into the new system). Mac Tiger OS ships by default on DVD, although those with older Macs that lack a DVD drive can get a set of CD-ROM install discs for $9.95 through Apple's Media Exchange program. Also, check out our Tiger slide show to get a sense of the look and feel of Apple's new OS. Early indications suggest that Tiger's a winner, but check back next week for the full story. But we're holding back on our highest honor, our Editors' Choice designation, until we complete our formal testing. If you're tired of Microsoft's many promises, or if you've been thinking of replacing your PC with a new Mac, Tiger may well be your best incentive to switch. In addition to the visible new features, Tiger includes significant overhauls under the hood, debuting a 64-bit architecture to take advantage of more addressable memory space and several core technologies that range from accelerating onscreen graphics to offering new programming interfaces that, if developers take advantage of them, could significantly change how we use computers. Even casual Mac users will immediately see the difference between 10.4 Tiger and 2003's 10.3 Panther because of flashy new native utilities, such as Dashboard. We think the new Mac Tiger OS is a solid release and is worthwhile for those who skipped Panther or have waited until Tiger's release to purchase their new Apple hardware.

Apple has shipped the latest update to its flagship product, Mac Tiger OS, and has included several useful new features, such as Spotlight desktop search, Smart Folders (which add new items to saved searches), and Safari RSS-all features that Microsoft has promised its Windows users in Longhorn, yet so far hasn't delivered.
