Discovering the Dashboard
Macworld: “The concept behind Dashboard is new but straightforward: It’s like an alternate Finder desktop, launched (and later hidden) by pressing F12, containing small mini-applications called widgets. These apps range from calculators, games, and weather reports, but you can also expect to see things like search tools and front-ends for more complex apps.”

Macworld: “Automator is a utility that’s designed, like the 21st-century robots we were once promised, to do all the dull, repetitive tasks we intelligent humans don’t want to bother with.”

ars technica Tiger Review
John Siracusa: “Tiger includes updates that are at least twice as significant as any single past update. Mac OS X is now getting to the point where significant improvements require a larger time investment. As far as the core OS is concerned, most of the low-hanging fruit has been harvested. Now it’s time for Apple to get down to the real work of improving Mac OS X.”
