I've decided I want to do do the "Archive and Install" option when I install leopard.

...but when I select that option, do all of my applications get transferred over from the applications folder on tiger to the new one on leopard? like, do I have to authenticate all my programs (ie iwork) again or will they all be set and ready to use?

thanks

When I used the Archive and Install option to upgrade my sister's Macbook from Tiger to Leopard, everything was essentially where it was left before the upgrade. So I would imagine everything will work right off the bat when you upgrade.
