It might be possible to use the $29 disc but is is legal?:

Its already known that it's possible.

the question is whether you have "morals"

If you buy it in the store they do ask you if you have Leopard. That's their very technical way to check to see if you qualify

Do you like your Mac? Are you excited about the new OS X 10.6?

If so then you probably appreciate the hard work of those who developed it.

You could probably save some hard earned cash by purchasing a legit copy of 10.5 for a good price before you buy the $29 10.6 disc. I'll venture to guess that there will be some good pricing available on 10.5 now that 10.6 is released.

Do the right thing.

Just searched eBay for "OS X 10.5 Retail" and found quite a few at a great price.
