For those who have Tiger running (don't care much how you got your hands on it or if you heard a rumor that it broke on the computer of the ADC member renting your basement.... :-) ), can we create a list of applications that break in Tiger?

The ones I am curious about are: Ms Office 2004, iLife, iWork, PS Elements, Camino. If you of an app that is definitely broken in Tiger, please respond here.

None of the apps you listed are likely to break under Tiger. The apps that are more likely to break are ones like haxies (anything that uses APE... but they are apparently working on fixes already), or things that directly access hardware.

Why don't we wait until 10.4 is out before having these "the sky is falling" threads?

All apps work, but the computer won't boot.

Camino (assuming you mean the latest release, 0.8.3) probably won't break. If it does, however, you can assume that Tiger support will be in the latest nightly builds after Tiger is out.

I think it's a valid question, other releases have broken things, a small price to pay for the improvement we've seen but it's still there. And if people could provide advance warning, that would be helpful. If I upgraded and, say, Toast stopped working, I'd have a problem.

not as many apps break when the OS is updated these days. Back in 10.0 10.1 it happened a lot I think.

Yes, but you probably won't see any official comments until after it's released - and any apps like Toast etc which break will probably see patches released shortly after Tiger is out.

Right. I would assume the NDA would prevent discussion of this right now, though.

iLife? iWork?? You cant be serious.. I mean really.. That would make Apple the laughing stock if their own apps didn't work with their own brand spanking new OS.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

If this Tiger thing catches on, it might make me consider upgrading from OS 8.5
