I'm currently using Tiger but I'm looking to try out Plex which is only compatible with Leopard. What's the cheapest route for me to upgrade from Tiger, and how much would I be likely to have to spend? Are there cheaper "upgrade" versions rather than "new install" versions? Are there any other options available to me? As you may have realised, I'm looking to do this as cheaply as possible. ;)

Thanks.
 
There are no special pricing options for Leopard, full install is the same as an upgrade. This makes sence as if you are buying a copy of Leopard you must already have a mac, which ships with an OS.

The only legit way to get Leopard is to pay full retail. Alternatively you could borrow a copy of a mate or risk downloading it from the net. Personaly I'd just buy it, it's not over priced.
 
It is expensive just to "try out" as the OS, while good, is not leagues ahead of Tiger. You could borrow a copy and if you find you really want it, buy it. Although I couldn't not possibly suggest you do that...
 
Thanks for the replies, guys. Don't know anyone at university - am too old for that and my nipper won't be going for another 8 years, so I think that's outta the question unfortunately.

I think a guy at work has a copy so I might try and be nice to him. Otherwise, guess I'll have to bite the bullet and buy the thing.

Cheers

Cool - will give this a go. Have borrowed a copy and decided it's worth buying for what I'm trying to achieve.

Nice - I thought they would've wanted an email from a confirmed address. Guess it's worth a try.
