I haven’t head of any new tagging features/possibilities in Leopard that Tiger doesn’t have, so you should be fine buying Tiger.

I’m thinking of buying a Tiger installation CD off eBay – though I’m not certain how ‘safe’ that is. The key attraction is that I’d probably get it for 50% or less of the retail price.

If tagging is the main reason I am making the investment, any reason I should buy Leopard from a retail store?

If you’re only just thinking about upgrading now you might as well wait until next month & buy Leopard.

It sounds like I need Tiger to benefit from tagging though. Is this the case? I haven’t upgraded from the original OS X my G4 came with when I bought it in 2003.

I have decided using the &-sign because of the better integration in spotlight, but I can’t click the tag in TagBag to open smart folder.
