A company that paid for 500K more eyeballs may get surprised if Tiger is a huge hit and 5M eyeballs all show up at 3 minutes past the hour. Fortunately, not everybody will install it the first 12 hours, so there should be enough ramp-up time so the sites (which presumably have plenty of spare kloo) will have time to make arrangements for the slashdotting.. Personally, I'd be surprised indeed if it makes more of a blip than Microsoft's auto-update right after Patch Tuesday goes out each month, and I've heard naught on here saying that *that* is an issue...
