Ableton would like to announce that the latest version of Live (4.1.2) is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 alias Tiger. Based on Ableton internal tests, they found everything working ok so far. But as an audio application Live also depends on the functionality of third party hard and software like audio & midi interfaces or effect instrument plug-ins.
Therefore Ableton would ask you to give them feedback about possible problems related to Mac OS X 10.4.
