Here's a simple answer, straight up.
If you want performance, movies, and all of that stuff, go with Tiger.
If you want newer programs, compatability, (not saying that leopard is
slow, but..) and movies, but basically all of the features of tiger
but newer? Go with Leopard.
If you want extreme speed, go with OS 9 or Jaguar. They are such light
systems, it's not even funny.
Jaguar = Mac OS X 10.2-10.2.8
Tiger = Mac OS X 10.4-10.4.11
Leopard = Mac OS X 10.5-10.5.8
I know this won't be the name for Mac OS X 10.7, but imagine as an
april fools joke, apple releases Mac OS X 10.7 next year with just a
modified version of Snow leopard to look different, and on the box
there is a picture of a Orage tabby hanging on to a celing fan while
it's rotating, and on the box, it goes like this:
Mac OS X 10.7
Lolcats
or Mac OS X 10.7
Celingcats
