Are you sure about Quicktime??

From the article: "QuickTime Player 7 is in Tiger and basically it just adds support for H.264."

The boys at Ars Technica seem to think differently. See what's really changed with Quicktime.

Man. I really wish we could get critical reviews.

Try this one from ars technica, if you haven't already. It's fairly detailed, and not as amateurish, nor is it worshipful.

Meaty goodness.

You might want to keep that copy of the XISO release of Tiger sitting on your hard drive and indexed by Spotlight on the down low. (second screenshot)

In addition to the Ars review (already posted in this thread and elsewhere), I would recommend the feature list at Daring Fireball. They're collaborating a list of the small details that have been changed, improved or screwed up.

It's not all completely positive, either. This is my favorite:

If you turn on the Finder's "Show all file extensions" preference, this now includes the ".app" extension on application bundles. [...] can't stand seeing these insipid ".app" extensions everywhere, but I don't want to turn off the "Show all file extensions" preferences because I do want to see the rest of them. What I want is the old behavior, "Show all file extensions, except for the insipid '.app' ones that completely booger up the names of every single application".
