The reason why I'm asking is that I'm not really seeing any compelling reason to upgrade at the moment. And I'd really like to avoid an upgrade-downgrade -- upgrading my system only to downgrade the performance. Yes, I know Tiger adds some nifty features but I'm not dying to get my hands on any of them at the moment.

My guess would be that you would only notice a decrease in speed.
This new system is tailored for G5, 64 bit processors... I'm sure my dual G4's will slug along but the real zing will be seen in the newest of machines...
As a friend once said, of new OS releases, upgrades, etc..
"Why do I want to turn my machine into a crash test dummy?"

OSX has always cost $129... (one user license). The best deal is the 'Family Pack" at $199 for 5 licenses...
What does Windoze cost for a 1 user license?

All Windows Service pacs are free for at least five years, and so far it's going on seven years for Windows 2000. XP is not a significant upgrade for a 2000 user like me. XP will be supported free for several more years.
XP users will be able to upgrade to 64 bit windows at no cost. So far AMD is the only 64 bit chip, but Intel will have one out this year. Professional applications like Photoshop and music recording programs like Pro Tools have 64 bit versions.
To upgrade to XP from Windows 98 costs about $90 if you shop around.
