Ok lets spill the guts then, first server then client.
I upgraded my x-serve with raid from 10.2.8 to 10.4.1 and thus is what I
found.
- admin tools rock!
- acl's are very handy
- dashboard is handy for quick access to some tools
- ldapv3 admin is easier
- a lot more control over users
BUT
- file permissions are broken (Apple knows this but has yet to fix it)
- adobe illustrator runs like a dog because of a weird bug and user home
folders on the tiger server
- omnis databases will NOT run properly, i have mine running on an old
iMac now :(
- when a user performs a file search on the whole shared volume the
server will lock up
Same story for client, a lot and I mean a LOT of little things that are
very nice but also a few main applications that do not work as they should.
I have Tiger on my daily machine but I hardly use anything that is not
integrated these days so I'm fine. If you heavily depend on 3rd party
software do some google searches for that software and the word tiger.
Trust me on that one!
Now for the good news ;)
Apple has now frozen the innards of osx. This means that even though
things will be added and changed in the future the core toolboxes will
remain static, that means that 3rd party software suddenly not working
will be a thing of the past. In the last few releases Apple has
radically changed USB, networking, sound and the way it handles images.
This should now remain more static and thus cause less disruption when a
new release comes out.

PS
that last bit was just something told by me by an apple dev guy, i'm not
a coder.
