The Pipeline: Tiger, Tiger, burning bright - Engadget - www.engadget.com / We started our Tiger prowl looking for a negative review. Surely someone had something bad to say about it. But negative reviews were harder to find than an iPod in Redmond; it seemed all tech journalists had fallen victim to Steve Jobs’ infamous “reality distortion field” — either that, or Tiger really was as good as Steve said it was. In The Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg focused on Spotlight, Apple’s desktop search technology, and called Tiger “the best and most advanced personal computer operating system on the market.” David Pogue of The New York Times, meanwhile, highlighted features that haven’t been aggressively marketed, including the system’s security, and called the OS “the classiest version of Mac OS X ever.” Even PC World — not exactly a publication known for gushing over Macs — declared Tiger a win, with Narasu Rebbapragada calling it “a giant leap” over OSX 10.3 (also known as “Panther”).
