The processor hungry process is VShieldCheck.

Does it have anything to do with Virex? which appears to be having issues too. When starting up it is giving the following alert.

The Health Check component is not responding. Please restart or re-install.

Hmmmmmm.

I read several places that Virex isn't compatible with Tiger yet.
 
English not your native language?

Installed 6 hour ago on my powerbook G4 1.3.

Everithing is ok. Common applications like Adobe CS Suite, Macromedia Studio and similar work without any problem (so far).

The new mail is great... it was nice to have same interface implemented also in other aplication.

Spotlight work very well. You just have to wait 30-40 minutes after installing OS for first time indexing.

The only problem I have found is with PGPMail. Just uninstalled it in the hope o a new compatible version soon.

I have the impression that some applications lunch faster.

No other perceptible speed inprovment on the standard system operation. Havn't find a way for now to test OpenGL performance and other stuff.

Safari RSS work very well. I'ts simple and fast.

I have also repaired my permission with disk utils and it was incredible fast compared to the Panther version.

Dashboard is nice, fast and work well.

If you are a developer, you have olso to take a look at the new Xcode 2.0. There are also a lot of new things in cocoa that can realy help developers in speed up the building of an application (data model seems to be great). I think this OSX release will open the road to more and better write Shareware in the near future.

There are also some little security features like "Use secure virtual memory" that protect virtual memory files from other users access. Or the safari "Private Browsing" that let an user on a shared machine to navigate without filling the History.

For the one that use Quicktime Pro 6, be advised, you have to buy a new licence for QT 7.

Sorry for my bad English,
Stid.

Although I noticed a few places where you missed the letter "s", in general your spelling and grammar are better than most native English speaking people who post here and elsewhere on the web. Don't worry!

I think we're screwed ;)

I am just outside Buffalo, so it's a race to see who gets it first -- Buff or NYC...

If Apple didn't push the 4-29 date so much, I wouldn't be so angry. But they plastered Friday everywhere, continuing to claim that it will arrive on time. I just don't get it, this isn't very hard: I've had Tiger on order for two weeks now (ordered on the 12th), and Apple has known that it was due on 4-29...I just don't see the room for error here.

Still preparing shipment...no email yet...grrrr

I agree this is not acceptable. I would not have ordered it from the online store had I thought that it wouldn't be here on 4/29. This is very upsetting to hear. I ordered the family pack the day they announced Tiger and it is still preparing shipment. Are the people with preparing shipment mostly people that ordered the family pack or is it just random people who gets screwed?
 
Virex and 10.4 - not compatible?

I remember reading that .Mac 3.0 might not support Virex because it isn't ready for 10.4 yet. From appleinsider.com:

"Along with the release of the new service, sources said Apple will begin to phase out support for the currently featured Virex anti-virus software, which is not yet compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. However, the company will continue to allow downloads of the software for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther users."

Don't need it for a short while anyway. They should come up with a compatible version soon. Although I'm shocked that they haven't yet, since 10.4 has been available to developers for a LONG TIME!
 
mine is still in Tennessee awaiting sorting. It got there yesterday and was put on 2 day delivery. My goods better arrive tomorrow.

It looks like Apple has served europe first for a change. Many non-US users, like myself, seems to have received their copy of Tiger already.

Except for UK
I haven't got mine. :(
 
Looks like mine is on the truck!

I do have a question though: I want to save as much of my available hard drive space as possible, so I only want to install the printer drivers I need and not install any of the foreign fonts. If I go through the custom install and turn these off, will it also erase the ones that Panther installed? If not, do I just trash the existing folder or is there an easier way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
narco.
 
YAY it arrived!

*shakes fist at upcomming class*

"Damn you class, damn you!"

I think they sent you my copy as a joke. Why not just drop it off if you have nothing to do today. Im in Minneapolis, I don't know how far of a drive that is from Velva but I'm sure you can handle it. Thanks

I've never been to an in-store Apple launch like this. Do they have anything on sale, generally?

IIRC, they had a 10% discount on hardware purchases at the Panther release party.

Well, I just saw a FedEx truck going by my house and it didn't stop :(, so I guess I will get it tomorrow then. :(

It seems like a lot of us are in this boat. A lot of us are very upset right now because we were the first to order it and we won't be getting it until next week. You can call apple and make them cancel your order, then go get Tiger at an apple store tomorrow. Otherwise, have patience (I know you must because you have been waiting 17 days already and now they are making it longer).
