The first question is will all of the software that you own, will it run on Leopard with no problems?

If you are happy with Tiger, I would say leave well enough alone. Is there anything in particular that Leopard has that you really want? If not, I would stick with Tiger.

My Macs: PowerMac G5 Quad, 2.5 GHz, 4 Core, Mac Pro, 3.2 GHz 8 Core, Power Macintosh 7500/100
My iStuff: 32 GB iPhone 4, 30 GB iPod Video, 16 GB iPod Touch
My OS': Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS 8.6, openSUSE 10.3, Win XP

The same question was asked when Mac users went from Classic (OS 9) to OS X. The time will come when you want to go to the later OS, whatever it is, and that is the time to make the jump.

I am still learning of all the abilities Tiger has... I wouldn't upgrade till you know most of the functionalities that Tiger can offer.
