My chat with Melissa from Apple. Besides pretending that I own Leopard.
I ask her questions to see if the disk in the Apple Box Set is the same as the single license pack. I ask this to prove that Snow Leopard upgrade copy can install on Tiger!!! She is the indented text I am the left align text.

Hi, my name is Melissa B. Welcome to Apple!
hello!
Good evening.
How may I help you today?
Just wondering I am wondering on upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard and wondering if the apple box sets and the mac osx 10.6 single user are the same disk like the snow leopard disk
Not exactly. The box set is recommended for those coming from Tiger.
but can I still use the box set I want ilife and iwork
Absolutely you can!
OK so you are saying that the box set and the single user snow leopard disks are the same disk. I am only asking this because I don't want to get a tiger disk when I am running leopard
No you won't.
You can certainly still use it.
Both the same disk?
Not exactly. The one in the box set has extra files for those that do not have Leopard. Where you already have it, it will just skip the installation of those files.
Also I can just do an erase and install correct?
You absolutely can if you want.
Not suggested correct?
Well not that it is not suggested. It's just you will lose everything unless you have a back up.
OMG That's scary LoL. I am trying to decide if I want the box set with the ilife in such or the single user license. So when I open the mac box set I will get the same disk box as if I got the single license?
Yes.
Cool so basically for the Mac Box Set I get 3 boxes the ilife box the iwork box and the snow leopard single licence box
Yes
Thank you Mellisa you have been a great help have a nice day!
