I know I’m a little behind everyone else here, but I now have Tiger installed and running on my Mac (Chewbacca).

I received it in the mail today, and so the very first thing I did upon getting home was begin backing up everything so that I could begin the upgrade. The install was pretty painless, only taking about 40 minutes, and that includes updating the developer tools as well. And so far, so good. As far as I can tell, all my data made it through in one piece, all my main apps are still running, and Spotlight is busy indexing everything.

Hopefully later this week I’ll be able to really dig in and start playing with the feature I’ve been most excited about, and that’s Dashboard. I’ve got some ideas for a few widgets, and now I’ve got a chance to start building some.

Also - be sure to check the image used as a screenshot for the Dashboard Doppler widget. A storm brewing over Redmond, WA (via: tuaw.com)
