Spotlight is an obvious major improvement. The improvements to Mail and Safari will be nice, especially Mail. Lots of improvements under the hood. Hopefully performance improvements even for old hardware, but we shall see. The 64-bit stuff is lost not only on older hardware, but for the vast, vast majority of users even on new hardware. It's totally over-hyped, though not really by Apple - they've been pretty low-key about it IMHO, and for good reason. People like bigger numbers and 64 is bigger than 32. Woohoo! 64-bit does not mean faster performance at all, indeed just the opposite (yep, slower) unless your app is in that rare category that needs to address more than 4 GB or memory at once. It's not something you'll see any benefit from and you'll be glad your apps don't use it.

A lot of this would be lost on older hardware, of course & I don't even know how useful some of the stuff will be in practice.

After reading about the new items in Tiger, I don't see that much to
brag about.  Does anyone?
