Apple puts users on a need-to-have basis: "Unless new features are essential, they won't get into OS X. [...] I want systems -- clients and servers alike -- that come out of the box ready to run. I want a short list of system-managed features I can turn on and off and the freedom to reach beyond that without getting my hand slapped by the platform."

Problems with Tiger and Cisco VPN client: "We had a chance to test it and the Cisco client can't even load. This is confirmed by Apple people."

This is a serious problem and prevents early adoption of Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) in many enterprises. In any case, it is worthwhile to wait a few weeks or months until starting to use a new version of any operating system.

I'll soon get Tiger for testing. Based on the results I'll decide wheter I'll soon upgrade my iBook to Tiger.
