Hi!
I'm only running 10.2.8 and eager to upgrade, but I decided to wait for Tiger. Since there is no news (yet) of updates to my software and hardware (tracktion, tascam us-122, recycle) to support Tiger, I was wondering whether it's worth upgrading. I know that when the orginal OS X came out, many people ran a dual boot of OS 9, enabling them to switch from one to the other easily. Is this possible with 2 versions of OS X? If not. What are people's thoughts on the wait for updates? For panther, how long did it take manufacturers to produce support? Thanks for your help, D. |

Right now, I don't see reasons to be still in Jaguar. Panther works like a charm.
Now for tiger compatibility, given the time developpers have had since the start of the beta releases and it's been more than a month now since the Gold, any driver at least not working in Tiger should be fixed very very soon after Tiger release. Also we know that a 10.4.1 is already in the pipeline and due to release very fast (it's needed for the video app shown by Apple at the NAB). So we can only reasonably think that the Panther/Tiger move should be as soft as possible. Now till we have Tiger and test in real lif, we can't be sure. I haven't tried myself not being entitled to betatest Tiger. Besides that, I don't think to beta test OS is a good thing for most end users. Now one thing I councelling you is to start from scratch for Panther and Tiger, back up, erase, install. there has been some headaches for some users who did not this when they came from Jaguar to Panther, and it worth remind it it…
