saitunes 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 I'm a 10.4 (tiger) user. Should I upgrade? Other than the abundance of new features (spaces, bootcamp etc.) What are the benefits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kobra500 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Well I will say yes because unlike xp > Vista their isnt many real disagvantages. I mean, I dislike osX but to each is own. So I see no reason not to upgrade, does it cost anything btw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onscreen 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 IMO, its best to buy the 10.5 instead of buying the upgrade. Having 10.5 in hand will allow you to run more apps unless you dont need such demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maylx 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 It would be your decision. I mean-- I've been thinking about switching to mac myself. Seeing as you already have a mac, upgrading to the latest version, I'd assume, would give you a few more features and whatnot? I'm taking into considering the price you're looking to pay for the upgrade. Go right ahead, if you're up to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowisawsome 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 I personally would recommend upgrading only if you are experiencing compatiblility issues. Some new programs do not work properly on tiger and previous operating systems. Otherwise there are limited advantages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variablez 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 I think that since you are using a MAC, there is no point in not upgrading... its simply like Windows Vista upgrading to SP1, it has good some good benifits.. faster boot time, boot camp, many more, it would be okay but on the other hand, some programs dont work as snowisawsome said... so its up to you if you need a powerful pc stick to this, if you dont and only use it part time, you should upgrade, whatever your desicion, good luck!
