Whois gonna let Mac OSX 10.4 "tiger" pass?
I mean compared to the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 it was a major improvement!
10.4 has some nice features and more slickness in the whole system but as whole there aren't that big "wow" add-ons in this new OS of Apple.
More who are gonna stick with "panther" and let "tiger" go pass by and wait for 10.5?

I got my fingers burnt moving from 10.2 to 10.3, so I'm in no hurry to move to Tiger. It does however sound as though Tiger is going to be around for a while, so I think it's inevitable that I'll move eventually.
I'll just wait for all the bugs to be ironed out before making the move (who am I kidding, they still haven't ironed out all of Panthers bugs with 10.3.7).

Considering 10.5 will probably be 2 years away I doubt many will be able to skip it. The features in 10.5 may not be as wiz bang, but pretty powerfull - core image and video, dashboard, search. Also, developers will be able to tie their applications into the OS more.

Dude what would posess you to think that 10.2-10.3 was a major improvement that will supercede the improvement from 10.3 to 10.4.
With Panther we got:
Expose
hundreds of little tweaks.
With Tiger we'll get:
SQLite based Spotlight search/metadata
New more efficient Quicktime
Dashboard=expose for widgets
Automator- very cool
Built in sync functions
Core Image/Video
Core Data
My god it really isn't any contest. Panther was a tweak that improved speed a few cosmetics and added small functions. Tiger is a new base of APIs that developers will extend greatly. The Cool Gut is totally right. IF you plan on "skipping" Tiger then realize you'll be with Panther for at least 2 more years. $129 isn't that much money.
I think Tiger will be prime for upgrading to after it has received it's first 2-3 patches.
10.5 will probably be released at the same time as longhorn in 5 years...
and you are all forgetting about the smart folders, the new ichat!
I have to say I am rather excited. Just what we have seen so far looks exciting, and I suspect we will see more exciting features which will make the wait for tiger even more unbearable.

Tiger look sweet as, it cannot be passed! I don't like the Apple 'Start' Menu though.

You're kidding....right?
What you need is to watch the Tiger Stream once more, you'll find that it's the other way around. This update offers far more than any of the other updates, which is also why it is so long in the making.
H.264 (can't wait)
Dash Board (can't wait)
Automator (can't wait)
Spot Light (can't wait)
iChat multible video and audio feeds (can't wait)
Core Video (can't wait)
Core Audio (can't wait)
When you shut Tiger down it saves all you were working on and next time you boot up all windows and all programs, webpages, documents etc. is back where you left it (can't wait)
and the list goes on.....
These are all not just new features but groundbreaking to the way we use the Mac. Tiger will change everything.

That sounds oddly familiar!!! I hope they copy Windows restore ability later on as well!
Actually, I'll probably be waiting for the FedEx person with trembling hands.

10.4 is it people. I don't think all this talk about a $500 Mac is just a coincidence with Tiger coming out. Apple has slowly and methodically rolled out an amazing architecture. It is now and the near future where we will finally get to see the big picture. Get excited about Tiger, very excited. The apps that are going to be built on top of this will blow you away...
such as... mini-Photoshop replacements?

Wait a sec...are they FINALLY adding "Save and Shutdown" or "Hibernate" as Windows calls it, where it saves the RAM contents to the hard drive? That would be sweet, and make PowerBook and iBook users very very happy.

Can anyone confirm this?
