Tip
One: When
should you install Mac OS X Tiger?
The
new version of Mac OS X Tiger
was released Friday. We are quite excited about this new version,
and we expect to be covering lots of new tips over the coming months.
But from experience, the question we are going to be getting a lot
in the coming week is "when should I upgrade?"
Our
pragmatic answer is the same as previous major releases:
If
you are a designer and your computer is your main source of livelihood
then don't be the first person on the block to upgrade. CreativeTechs
generally waits 2-3 months after a major release before we start
officially recommending clients to install the upgrade on vital
production computers.
So
for the front-line Epro and design stations: We'd recommend waiting
until late June or July to plan a major Tiger update. This gives
more adventurous designers the chance to uncover any problems, incompatibilities,
or other quirks. Meanwhile, CreativeTechs will be supporting the
early adopters and building up our own list of unanticipated problems
and solutions. When you are ready to make the move, we'll help make
sure it is not into uncharted territory.
[Note:
As part of the Apple Developer's
Connection CreativeTechs has had access to pre-release versions
of Mac OS X Tiger since early beta stages.]
