[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 892784, member: 56379"] The statement "As far as I understand"...is a diplomatic & polite way of saying that there is a 99.9999% chance that the $29.95 10.6 disk is only an update...not a full install. Apple is also selling a 10.6 box set for $169...which includes a full install of OS 10.6, iWork 09, and iLife 09. Why would someone pay $169 for these 3 programs...if the 10.6 $29.95 disk was a full install? But here is how you know that it is not a full install (from the system requirements on the Apple website)...quote: "Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
