You can always update your OS to a newer version (except your hardware is not supported anymore), but you NEVER can install an older OS X version on that machine.

f.e.: actual Macs ship(ped?) with "Leopard 10.5.x" ---> so you can't install "Tiger 10.4.x"

After the release of Snow Leopard all Macs ship with the new OS pre-installed.

I remember when I bought my Macbook it came with 10.5 pre-installed, just a few weeks after the release. It took many weeks and updates till everything ran as smooth as it does now. - I personally don't want to risk waiting again -
Thanks...

Given the ridiculous price differences between Europe and the US I think I'll still buy one anyway. I want to run PT on it, but I wont be fully committed to that single machine so I'll manage for a while.

And just because something isn't "Digi aproved" doesn't mean it won't work. That's my personal experience anyway...
