    What kind of a choice is this?

    This guy wants to know if he should buy his new iMac before Leopard ships, I say why not, I am.

    You must be reading his mind because that's not what his original post indicated.

    You know how they say great minds think alike? It's the same for stupid people.



    If indeed this is the question, both options have advantages. Buying the iMac now means you get your iMac now. Buying after Leopard means you get Leopard free.



    However, if you buy Leopard you get one that works on any Mac but the one you get with the machine only works with your machine model so there's an advantage to buying the retail version.



    Also buying later means you skip a possibly buggy first release. But this also means you have to do a migration in a couple of months.



    Personally I'd buy now.

    This was the deciding factor for me.

    Now that's an advantage most people don't consider. Good point!
