This is WAY off topic for me to say ... but software bloat is not "features I do not personally use."

If that were the case ALL software would be bloated because all software has at least one feature that one person does not use ...

And with an OS, its the under the hood changes that we all use without knowing that are really the features.

It's the dropping of pre-firewire machines that WE need to care about.

Why? I don't see that Tiger presents any more useful advantage to a SC user than Panther. In fact, I probably won't be an early adopter, because there is no reason to spend $$ on something I can't take advantage of. I'm just not that much of a 'power user'.


OTOH, I won't get another machine without firewire, though. I'm doing more stuff with music and need wideband I/O for multi-track recording in realtime. You can't reliably capture more than two at a time with USB at high resolutions. It's all too easy for stuff to drop out in any case, so the more the system can handle, the better. But Panther is already 'bloatware' to me. I don't use a lot of it.

All the best,
