Re: Leopard or Tiger?

yes there were.

To follow up, I checked this out. If you bought a Mac from around 18 September
2007 (the official date was 1 October, but the people on the phone had
some discretion) until January 2008 (it was originaly December 31, but then
was extended) AND it shipped with Tiger, you could order an upgrade disk using
their up-to-date program. It would upgrade a Tiger system, but could not be
used to do a complete install.

No one that I could see commented on the usability of the disk, whether it
would only upgrade the model it was bought for, or it could be used to
upgrade any model. There was a multiple computer, one disk option,
no one seems to have commented if the disks were different from the single
upgrades.

In any case, the RETAIL disks are not license upgrades, and neither are th
e gray hardware specific ones. If you upgrade with a RETAIL disk, you
can sell/give your older disk.

If you did not buy a new computer during that time that came with Tiger,
you could not buy an upgrade disk.

Anyone know what the UP-TO-DATE disks look like?
