I used it and it's almost better than Spaces in 10.5. Also it's FREE. --jim After you get it going try Desktop Manager (http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/) gives you multiple desktops on 10.4.

This is easy to forget because it was quite a while ago. On my PPC tower I have several drives and one has 10.5.1 on it. There are a few applications I need that still do not work well in 10.5 so I still do half my computing with Tiger. I am guessing that 10.5 will be fine by 10.5.4. It does seem that the high graphics requirements with 10.5 makes it prudent to turn off a lot of the eye candy on older Macs.

I just installed it on an iBook G4 1.2ghz with 512mb ram, and beyond basic email / web / rss tasks 10.5 chokes mostly due to the lack of ram. Luckily, it's a second hand laptop and basic stuff is all I plan on using it for ;) You probably don’t want to run 10.5 on an iBook that old anyway.

The Tiger. Best of the Apple "cat family". The Leopard still leaves me asking why, oh, why? Not enough value for the bucks, and I had to upgrade bunches of software. Not to mention the trip to the huge galleria of a shopping mall, where the Apple Store is. Our iMac still proudly runs the Tiger. -k- 10.4. The Tiger. Best of the Apple “cat family”.
