Start a Revolution on Your Desktop

Mac OS X Tiger will change the way you use a computer. Breakthrough search technology, stunning graphics and media, unparalleled connectivity, an intuitive user interface and a virtual toolbox chock full of cleverly integrated features — all atop a rock-solid UNIX foundation — give you the most innovative, stable and compatible desktop operating system on the planet. Period.

Find Anything, Fast

Tiger introduces Spotlight, the lightning-fast search technology that illuminates every corner of your Mac, displaying results as fast as you type. Search everything on your system: Files, emails, contacts, images, movies, calendars and applications appear instantly. Just as you find songs on iTunes by name, artist or album, Spotlight results take you way beyond mere filename and location: They include all the metadata inside files — the “what, when and who” of everything on your Mac — including the kind of content, the author, edit history, format, size and many more details.

Organize Instantly

Because Spotlight is built right into the core of Mac OS X, it automatically updates results whenever files change, giving you countless new ways to organize your Mac. Save search results as a Smart Folder that automatically updates itself. Set up Smart Mailboxes according to Spotlight search queries and Mail files away your messages for you. Create Address Book Smart Groups using Spotlight search results. Even drag and drop Spotlight searches into new Automator Workflows to automate repetitive tasks. Everything on your Mac gets a chance to shine.

 

Get Info in a Dash

The new Dashboard hosts nifty mini-applications called widgets that appear instantly and keep you up to date with timely information from the Internet. View stocks, check weather forecasts, track flights, convert currency and units of measure, even look up businesses in the yellow pages. Similar to Exposé, the Dashboard zooms across your Desktop at the click of a function key. Your favourite widgets appear with up-to-the-second information, then disappear just as easily, so you can get back to what you were doing.
