[QUOTE="yogi, post: 296713, member: 8542"] 10.5 is not a free upgrade. It's a full software package that can be patched onto 10.4, so you don't have to reformat anything. It's like going from Windows 98 to XP, or XP to Vista. License fees are much less than Windows, though, around 120$ if I guess. This will be the first Mac upgrade for me, as I bought a mac with 10.4 . You can wait til Macworld on January 9th and see if the features in Leopard matter to you. If they do, you must decide whether to wait, as they will announce an approximate shipping date (if not already releasing it). But in any case, I'd wait til 9th. [/QUOTE]
