10.3 was a very good release. It literally WAS faster on my G4 upgraded B&W. That was the first time an OS release was actually faster than the version it replaced.

I'm still very pleased with 10.3.x
Still using it on all the machines here at work (130-something of them).
Can you beleive that some Educational Software companies are still releasing NEW TITLES for OS 9 *ONLY*?
Five years, guys... wake up already...

10.4 is just a lot of bells and whistles for the most part.
Dashboard isn't anything great or wonderful that you can't do with seperate programs or Konfabulator.
Smart folders? Smart folders remind me of Open Doc. Great idea, but really, have you figured out how to use them?
Automator? Maybe photoshop people.
iChat video? Too bad I'm not pimp and don't have a horde strippers so I could make some bucks from live video : )
so yeah, 10.3 is a safe bet : )
oh, and spotlight. Just give my my find command. Spotlight finds way too much, and in a manner that seems more inspired by Microsoft than good old Apple.

What are you trying to bury?

spotlight seems to find a lot of clutter, rather than the file I want.
It seems overly complex without any great value to the user. That's just my 2ยข and it it works for other people, then more power to them : )
