Get Tiger, or wait for Leopard?

[Cloudgazer]

I'm still running 10.3.9 and have been wanting to upgrade to Tiger.
But since Leopard is just around the corner, maybe I should wait for it.

When is Leopard expected to be released?

I'm assuming that if i don't get Tiger, i can upgrade directly from 10.3.9

any advice?

Yes, you should. Why buy now if you haven't bought already? Waste of money at this point.

When is Leopard expected to be released?

It will be announced in WWDC this August. People are expecting release in December-January time frame. Optimists are guessing November, and some think that it will be released just before NAB in April.

Yes, you can. Leopard will install on every supported Apple hardware regardless of the previous OS install or lack of.

Last night I went to a workshop at an Apple store here, and they highlighted some of the amazing things automator can do...
Man, that app is just friggin amazing.

Yes, you can. Leopard will install on every supported Apple hardware regardless of the previous OS install or lack of.

some day i'll do a direct upgrade from the public beta direct to 10.6 or something.

you could just get a cheap copy off ebay for like 50 bucks, leopard is still like 9 months away.
