While it's certainly true that not everyone will directly benefit from 
Tiger, there were a few items in the blurb that caught my attention.

- Audio interface aggregation:  I think this hits a fairly big 
percentage of the demographic. Now I can buy a Firewire interface for 
my laptop for remote recording and know that I've just increased the 
I/O for the studio as well.

- MIDI network driver: There's been much talk about MIDI over LAN and 
how to synch multiple machines together. This native driver may make 
all of that painless.

- 64 bit processing: Yeah, I know, nothing can use it yet! But that 
event horizon just moved a bit closer.

This is a .0 release with all the inherent flaws that may entail. And, 
as per usual, all the developers are playing catch-up. The usual 
caveats apply, you're taking your life in your hands if you install a 
.0 anything on a machine you make your livelihood on! That included 
Logic 7.
