Should I wait for 10.5 or get 10.4 now?

[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 353981, member: 24098"] To me, this decision is a very simple one. It all comes down to this... Is there a killer feature in Leopard that you absolutely must have? If not, then wait. If so, consider that most of the features touted in Leopard are readily available via add-ons from the aftermarket. If you want a Mac, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Tiger. To me Leopard is to Tiger what Windows ME was to Windows 98. Besides, you can always upgrade later and the price of admission really isn't that high at $130. It will be at least a few more months before Leopard. The last developer builds appeared to be still relatively unstable. Features are still being added. Typically when an OS is close to ready, they stop adding features and have most of the bugs shaken out. My prediction is worth a grain of salt, but I would say we're looking at June at the earliest. Even then, it will be a first generation product that will be in need of some refinement - not something that's worth an immediate jump to upgrade in my opinion. So, although it's been asked and answered on countless occasions now, once again my take is that you should just buy now. [/QUOTE]
