What about those stuck on Tiger (my gf)? Buy Leopard and Snow Leopard update or buy a full version?

I'll buy a full version if I were in Tiger.

Edit: Mac Box Set seems a better choice too, US link: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MACBOX-101801 169$

May I ask how it is "now available"? From the site, it says that it will be delivered Friday. Did Apple not update the page this links to? Is this an "it's available for purchase now for delivery later" post that the headline is misleading me on?

Fair point, I've updated the headline to reflect the delivery date.

What's with the query string on the link, is that an affiliate identifier? The link works just fine without it, in either case.

No, not an affiliate id I simply copied the url straight out of my address bar - I'm guessing it's a session id or something.

Here is the id-less link for anyone who doesn't believe me (I can't change the url of the post unfortunately): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MAC_OS_X_SNGL

Hmm, not exactly convincing. Leopard brought stuff like time machine, this smells more like a big service pack. I mean, OpenCL and some of the central applications running 64-bit? Better Quicktime and a new Safari? I don't even use QT and Safari.

And it's $29? Too little to be too much, but still a lot for a service pack.
