While Apple shipped the PowerPC edition bundled with PowerPC-based Macs and also sold it as a separate retail box, the only way to get the Intel version was bundled with an Intel-based Mac. There is no universal version of the client operating system, although Tiger Server was made available on a universal DVD from version 10.4.7. Tiger was initially available in a PowerPC edition, with an Intel edition released beginning at 10.4.4.

Despite not having received security updates since then, Tiger remains popular with Power Mac users and retrocomputing enthusiasts due to its wide software and hardware compatibility, as it runs on a wide variety of older machines and is the last OS X version that supports Classic Environment, a Mac OS 9 compatibility layer.
Safari 4.1.3 is the final version for Tiger as of 18 November 2010.

The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The next security update, 2009-006 only included support for Leopard and Snow Leopard.
#XPOSTFACTO 3.1 UPDATE#
The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. Tiger was succeeded by Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard on 26 October 2007, after 30 months, making Tiger the longest running version of Mac OS X. The Apple TV, as released in March 2007, ships with a customized version of Mac OS X Tiger branded "Apple TV OS" that replaces the usual graphical user interface with an updated version of Front Row. Īpple announced a transition to Intel x86 processors during Tiger's lifetime, making it the first released Apple operating system to work on Apple–Intel architecture machines. At the World Wide Developers Conference on June 11, 2007, Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, announced that out of the 22 million Mac OS X users, more than 67% were using Tiger. Apple claimed that Tiger was the most successful Apple OS release in the company's history. Six weeks after its official release, Apple had delivered 2 million copies of Tiger, representing 16% of all Mac OS X users. The server edition, Mac OS X Server 10.4, was also available for some Macintosh product lines. Tiger was included with all new Macintosh computers, and was also available as an upgrade for existing Mac OS X users, or users of supported pre-Mac OS X systems. Tiger shocked executives at Microsoft by offering a number of features, such as fast file searching and improved graphics processing, which Microsoft had spent several years struggling to add to Windows with acceptable performance.
Some of the new features included a fast searching system called Spotlight, a new version of the Safari web browser, Dashboard, a new 'Unified' theme, and improved support for 64-bit addressing on Power Mac G5s. Tiger was released to the public on 29 April 2005 for US$129.95 as the successor to Mac OS X Panther (version 10.3), which had been released 18 months earlier. Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger is the fifth major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
