I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8.

How do I know if I have Tiger or Leopard?
 
I think that's a genuine question so I will give it a genuine answer!

10.4.x is Tiger
10.5.x is Leopard
10.6.x is Snow Leopard
 
I'll have a run at it:

10.0 Cheeta
10.1 Puma
10.2 Jaguar
10.3 Panther
10.4 Tiger
10.5 Leopard
10.6 Snow Leopard

10.7 House Cat :D

Look on the disc that came with it. Not on the physical disc, if it's a grey one. Insert it, open the Instructions folder and you'll see a pdf called Welcome to Leopard. If the disc is black, it might say Leopard on the physical disc.(?)

People, read the question again! ;)
 
interesting

You purchased a MB Pro (or received as a gift) and do not know the latest OS's from Apple?

I am not being a Smart Alick, but this is simply intriguing. Perhaps the computer was a gift so you were not familiar with Apple prior to your receipt of the computer.

Please, no snitty responses to this. We are in a day and age now where you cannot ask critical or insightful questions since everyone has an ax to grind. If you don't want to answer, then don't answer, else provide a cordial, thoughtful response as the question is a thoughtful one.

What if s/he looks at a disc that wasn't loaded on the computer or if it was bought with Tiger and then upgraded to Leopard?

S/he says it is running 10.5.8, so it is Leopard. Why overcomplicate this?
 
/sarcasm/ I'm glad to see no one gave this person a hard time...

In all reality, the majority of people in the world aren't as Mac-literate as the least of question-answers on Macrumors. Seems strange to us, yes, but for others... well... most don't care what OS their computer is running, as long as it just works...

Hey, that's make a great commercial! :D

EDIT: Though it is a bit curious when you look at eddyq's other posts...
