"64 bit support. ... For those of us stuck with ancient machines (the G4 kind, which Apple still sells today on their web site) there doesn't seem to be any enhancement..."

-Umm... duh. But it will benefit those who are using the G5. Generally we call that a Good Thing (TM).

"Data syncing. Nice, maybe, but every single app needs to do some work,..."

-This a new .Mac feature, not a Tiger feature.

"Spotlight is an evolution of a similar magnitude, which attempts to solve pretty much the same problem with a slightly different approach."

-They didn't claim to invent searching. But it does look like they've engineered it intelligently and that it will be much more useful to users. You insinuate that because this development is evolutionary that it isn't significant. I don't understand why you think that's a logical conclusion.

"I'll add that some apps (like the aforementioned driver for the Epson 3200 scanner) have some serious graphical glitches."

-Bitch to Epson then.

"many applications can't be installed at all if yo're not the primary user"

-Complain to the ISV's if you think that their apps should be installable by non-administrator users. I tend to consider that a feature.

"There's no uninstaller worth mentioning."

-Do what I do. DRAG APP TO THE TRASH. Simplest uninstaller in the business.

"...non-existent keyboard shortcuts. I really dislike how there doesn't seem to be any way to dismiss certain alerts with the keyboard."

-Examples...? If they're Photoshop alerts then complain to Adobe. All of the alerts that I know of go away with "Return".

I could keep going with your totally idiotic "thoughts" but I don't want to waste my time. I know, I'm sure you think there will never be an OS as great as your beloved BeOS was 10 years ago. Maybe, someday you will be able to get over it.
