Tiger Upgrade

The other day I installed the new Mac OS X Tiger and I must say that I don’t have too many complaints about it. May main complaint is that my emacs build for mac quit working. This is mainly a problem because I am using Mozart for a Natural Language Processing class I am taking and Mozart runs in emacs. There were also a couple of other application problems but for the most part I got those fixed.
Phil Windley mentions a site in his blog that has a list of incompatibility issues with certain applications and Tiger. You can find it at http://www.macintouch.com/tigerreview/incompatibility.html.
I found it interesting that they have changed the name of Rendezvous to Bonjour I guess with every upgrade you have to make so many changes and that is one of the changes Apple decided to make. The RSS feature in Safari is better than it is in Firefox (Phil Windley also talks about this in his post). Instead of saving the RSS feed as a bookmark, Safari will actually open up NetNewsWire for me and subscribe to that feed.
Overall, it’s been fun to play with some of the new features in Tiger. The smart folders for my email are a nice addition and searchlight I am still trying to get used to although I see its potential for anyone who uses it frequently. All in all, I must say Tiger is not bad.
