7 lines of text is a wall? Glad I wasted my time, it's pretty clear you're a 12 year old who is just talking out of his ass or trying to be a troll.
So you tried to have an argument, got shot down with all of your ridiculous claims and now try to play it off like you don't care simply because you were wrong. You lose. Good day sir. I'm not checking this thread anymore.
LUL, lose? Hah, that's a funny way to make yourself feel like you won. Do you turn ALL menial tasks into win-lose competitions? XD Did you win when you got the last Froot-Loop this morning? XD XD XD
Oh, but you're not checking this thread, so you won't be able to respond, right? Riiiight? XD

IM GONNA MAKE ALL OF THESE FACES BECAUSE I CANT RESPOND TO THE ARGUMENT THINKING IM SOMEHOW ACTUALLY PROVING SOMETHING
XD XD XD
No, you're wrong. MrCheeto says so, so it must be true.
I'd have to respectfully disagree, there. Tiger's Finder is simply not as refined as that released in Leopard. As well, the Dock does not offer anything over Desktop icons in Windows. The Leopard Dock allows for stacks, which is far more efficient and natural than both Desktop icons and the Start menu.
Finally, though most important to me, is the interface. If the appearance didn't matter, then we'd still be using Platinum, right? Leopard is both unified and refined, so as to remove clutter from your windows and make the most often-used tasks more accessible and easy to find.
While I am enjoying Tiger on my iBook, I do still have several issues that simply make it a frustrating experience, again referring to the Dock and Finder. It's not a terrible system, just not one that I would prefer back in those days. I didn't switch until Leopard came around, and for good reason. Then again, every person is entitled to their preferences

Tiger's Finder is simply not as refined? Why? Cover flow?
Hey genius, you can add stacks in Tiger. The only difference is that they have to be in list view.
Leopard's UI is far from being unified. It's a different shade of metal, big whoop. Why are there still Marble scroll bars in some applications if it's so "unified".
Everything you've listed has minimal impact on the user. The only thing worth noting in Leopard that you haven't even bothered to mention is Quick Look. If anything, Leopard was a down grade in terms of search functionality and the overall speed of the OS.
In my opinion, Tiger's Dock and menu bar look more professional. I hate Leopard's menu bar (both opaque and translucent) and Dock. Also, Stacks doesn't really offer me any more than folders in the Dock in Tiger, both allow me to browse my content, though Leopard does it a little bit prettier. Spotlight also was a LOT better in Tiger, I mean the result browser by that.
I don't use Tiger anymore because some software refuses to work with it, but I really hope Apple's next OS will be as nice again as Tiger was.

The greatest reason I prefer Leopard's stacks, is that it allows me to view my files and folders and make a selection in a Full-Icon view, while opening a minimal number of windows. I was never a fan of list views, or the fact that opening a folder in OS 9 creates a new window. Building onto this functionality is Snow Leopard's drillable stacks. The only time I ever have to open a Finder window is when doing some complex tasks, like cleaning out preferences and libraries, so I don't have to drill down to the same folder over and over.
The menu-bar is debatable. I am personally annoyed by the transparent Menu since the window titles can't be transparent as well. Nor does the menu match the window titles! However, the Black Apple is toz better than the blue one
Spotlight seems to look more deeply through folders in Tiger, which can be confusing and clog up the results. Searching for almost any word will bring up results in the Developer folder, lots of them! The only way to improve this beyond both Leopard and Tiger would be to allow a configurable amount of drilling or to exclude certain folders.
I hope the next version of OS X is more cleaned up and refined. Blue menu bars with grey titles? Come ON!
I just hope Snow Leopard sticks around for as long as Tiger did. Developers STILL haven't taken advantage of OS X's offerings. Leopard was so short lived, it seems rushed, perhaps a stop-gap.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks this:
is better than this:
is out of their mind.
Wow, way to thread hijack.
So far as I can recall, this thread was about simonfoy's satisfied purchase of a brand new 27" iMac.
This bickering doesn't even belong in this forum, much less this thread.
