Yes, it's been awfully quiet! I know next to nothing about Tiger and
don't intend getting it until it's had at least another upgrade - oh
and until I have some more dosh!

At
some point in the future I expect I'll be getting Tiger and I've got a
question that hopefully some current users will be able to answer
regarding Spotlight:
Does it handle network drives? All the demos I've seen so far have
apparently been on stand-alone machines because they've mainly been
used
to track down photos in iPhoto or stuff in Mail. As I understand it,
indexing gets done when you first install Tiger on any drives it sees,
and the indexes are kept up-to-date on-the-fly from then on as new
content is added or deleted. Is this the same with network volumes and
does anybody have any views on performance - does the indexing get in
the
way and are the searches fast?
My query is because about most of my files for home and work are
located
on two machines - a B&W running various MacOS versions and a Windows NT
Server running Services for Macintosh. So any machine running MacOS
8.6 -
10.x would need to be able to search these in some way - be it via
Spotlight or via the traditional Cmd-F.
