10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard. Minor updates are free, major updates (i.e. 10.5 => 10.6) need to be purchased.

You can purchase Snow Leopard here:

Apple - Mac OS X Snow Leopard - The world?s most advanced OS

That is a program that runs on 10.6, not 10.6 itself. Again, it's a pay-for upgrade. And we don't discuss software piracy here.

Regardless it's only $29, if you have an Intel Mac, it's well worth the money.

That is a bookmark manager, not a copy of the OS

10.6 is only $29 from Apple, that's pretty cheap for an OS

It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
