I honestly don't think that's right, well what your saying anyway.

Tiger and Leopard are totally different.

Snow-Leopard is an add-on to Leopard. Thats why the price is so small.

So if you have Leopard installed, get down them shops and install it.

oh so i should go to the apple store with my macbook air and install it there?

I'm no expert with the MacBook Air, but you will need a DVD drive to install Snow-Leopard.

I assume you have an External DVD drive available... right?

All you have to do is install Snow-Leopard via a DVD.

(if you have a MacBook Air, you must have Leopard already installed)

Yea I have a SuperDrive, it's just I want to go to the apple store with my computer to show them that I have lepord installed so I can buy snow lepord for 29

I don't know if it's different in the US or something, but Snow-Leopard is an add-on to Leopard.

Thats why it's so cheap. I can't understand why you would have to take your Air into an Apple Store. Having a Copy of Snow-Leopard would be useless to somebody on Tiger

Ohh, so they have 2 verisons of snow lepord? One for people upgrading from lepord and one for people ugrading from tiger?

[iphonewarrior]

Well I don't know about the Tiger Part but I'm 99.9% sure it's for the current Leopard owners.

I can't really answer the question, as I'm on Leopard and Tiger i've forgotten about.

NO, they have Snow Leopard for $29 and the $49 family pack. Just go into the store and buy the single version for $29 or the family pack for $49.No one will ask for proof that you bought Leopard last year.

Dont listen to iphonewarrior. No offense but he doesn't know what he's talking about. Snow Leopard is not an addon, its a new OS. OSX 10.6 to be exact. Second, if you have leopard then all you need to do is buy the $29 DVD which is the full OS. Tiger users are supposed to pay for the full box set although there are reports that snow leopard will install fine.

First off, thats a little rude.

I know there are two different types of Snow-Leopard, Single and Multiple users for different computers.

I also know that it is in fact an add-on to Leopard. Hence the name. Although you are right in what you are saying about it being a full OS.

If you have Tiger then it's a totally different kettle of fish, you would need to pay a higher amount to get the OS running on you machine.


(In addition, I'm only going from what I've been told by someone that works for apple here in the UK)
