Um, Mac OS X 10.5 (aka "Leopard") will NOT be available in "60 days  
or so." It is presently scheduled for early 2007 (probably January/ 
Macworld SF).

Leopard will be TALKED ABOUT and SHOWN in some form at the WWDC in  
August, but that's for developers (and others who can pony up the  
$1,000+ for a ticket) only.

If you want Tiger, buy Tiger. Leopard, when released, is likely to  
bring buckets of new features, and inevitably will "break" some  
software/hardware for a short period. Now, if you're me, you don't  
mind this and like being on the "bleeding edge." Most more sensible  
people prefer to wait a few weeks/months for bugs to get ironed out  
and software to get updated.
