What is new in Mac OS 8?

Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger" is the fifth major release of Mac OS X, Apple Computer's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Tiger was released to the public on April 29, 2005 as the successor to Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther", which was released 18 months earlier. Some of the new features include a fast searching system called Spotlight, a new version of the Safari web browser, Dashboard, a new 'Unified' theme, and improved support for 64-bit addressing on Power Mac G5s. Tiger is also the first version of any released Apple operating system to work on Intel's x86 platform, though it is only intended to operate on Apple-Intel architecture machines such as the MacBook Pro, MacBook, Intel Mac Mini and Mac Pro.
