To get your operating system version, go to the Apple menu -> About this Mac.

I'm just curious how updated MGM users tend to be. General stats in the Mac community show that most users use Leopard and Snow Leopard, with a somewhat low Tiger percentage. Here are statistics for a well known free software and for a well known commercial software.

I allowed 2 options per user, if one tends to use more than one computer with different operating systems (like me). Please don't poll in operating systems for computers you have, but don't use regularly.

Assuming you get a decent sample size I'm going to hazard a guess towards the older versions. It seems that most of the people who are active on this site prefer to not have to buy software (see Halo demo vs Halo full). The OS updates can cost a pretty penny and for the most part the older ones run pretty well.

10.5.8, and my old crappy laptop I use at times is 10.2.8, which I notice is not an option.
