Efficiency and Speed are the two prime terms that form the basic necessity in the field of computers. The advanced version of Vista had been scheduled for launch during 2006. Mac OSX Tiger was launched during 2003, when the Microsoft announced its schedule to launch integrated desktop search functionality in Windows Vista.

The views and opinions vary. Some of the key features of Vista and Tiger are listed below.

1. The appearance and feel of Vista has entirely been redesigned. It is artistic and highly operative. On the other hand, Mac Tiger was always known for its clear and trouble-free technology and visual. Many features on visual effects of Vista (translucent icons, high determination and animation effects) have been integral to Tiger beyond 4 years.
2. Tiger has fine tuned the intense problem that is caused by windows. Where as Vista is yet to determine such problems.
3. Tiger is featured with the 128 x 128 pixel icons that provide better interpretation and clearer resolution when compared to the 32 x 32 or 64 x 64 pixel icons of Vista. However, it is well-known to the market that once the new version of Vista is realized, the resolution independent vector graphics feature will overcome this hindrance.
4. Even though the desktop search functions look similar in both Vista and Tiger, there is one feature that draws a line between them - Tiger has the filtering feature that becomes accessible only on creation of a smart folder or using the shortcut keys. Vista is featured with the Virtual folder which is similar to that of the Smart Folder of Tiger.
5. Vista has advanced features where the inbuilt intelligence of the system organizes the information. This facilitates search processes. Tiger is a little old-fashioned system with no special features like that.
6. Vista is superior to Tiger in supporting Meta data processing. Where in Tiger, Meta data can be created or changed only on using document processing application.
7. Vista is enhanced with the feature to visually trace-out the files whereas, Tiger does not. When it comes to Image previews in Tiger, by default, it is turned off.
8. When it comes to Security issues, Tiger is far safer than Vista. This is because to the Tiger’s small size, which implies that only less hackers will try to tap the data. Whereas Windows is bigger when compared to Tiger.
9. User domains and log-in are safer in Tiger system which the Microsoft has scheduled to implement in the Vista system to intensify its security.
10. Vista will be enhanced to defend parental locks and blocks. This will enhance the safety of the parental documents from various damages.
11. The Security in Vista includes the inbuilt Safety against hacking, mal-ware, spy-ware, ad-ware etc. For Tiger, it has been a secured system without violation.
12. Both Tiger as well as Vista are featured with excellent networking features that enable the users to use them massively for both personal and business purposes. When compared to Vista, Tiger is simpler.
13. The hibernation mode is active straight away in Tiger whereas in Vista it is trying to correspond with such features of Tiger.

These are a few speculative comparisons between the Tiger and the Vista systems. The acute evaluations can be made only on the release of Vista in its completed form.
