Mac OS X Tiger
The Power of UNIX, the 
Simplicity of Macintosh
Apple uses open source software and industry standards in Mac OS X, beginning 
with a UNIX-based foundation that provides unparalleled innovation, stability, and 
performance and creates a base on which Apple can deliver industry-leading tech-
nologies. Innovations in areas such as searching, mobility, graphics, video, music, user 
interface, networking, cross-platform interoperability, security, and the digital lifestyle 
are introducing capabilities that users should expect from their computers, but that 
won’t be delivered in competing operating systems for years to come. 
These innovative core technologies make possible a wealth of features and applica-
tions in Mac OS X version 10.4 “Tiger” that put your Mac to work for you by simplifying 
difficult and time-consuming tasks and delivering timely information immediately. 
Tiger is the fifth major release of Mac OS X in four years, continuing the rapid pace of 
innovation that has resulted in compelling applications and core system technologies 
that are redefining the desktop computer operating system. 
With Spotlight, Dashboard, Automator, iChat AV, and more than 200 other new features 
and applications, Tiger will change the way people use the Mac every day. These fea-
tures and applications are accompanied by thousands of popular applications designed 
for Mac OS X from the world’s leading software developers, including Adobe, Microsoft, 
and Macromedia; from the community of open source, Linux, and UNIX developers, 
who’ve found a new home in the world’s best UNIX-based desktop operating system; 
and from Java developers, who can now deliver applications on a platform hand-tuned 
for Java. 
No matter how Macintosh computers are used—at home for managing pictures or 
making movies, in the studio by artists designing magazines or writing music, at school 
by students and teachers, or in the lab by world-class scientists—Tiger is a major, must-
have upgrade.
