This is why it was still possible to purchase older versions of the 
Windows OS for several years after a major release.  It allowed time 
for bugs to be wrung out and for the users to transition.  But with 
Apple, shipments of Tiger stopped the day before Leopard hit the 
streets and Tiger is officially not supported any more.  All new 
machines come with Leopard and unless you can find a box still in 
inventory, it will not be possible to purchase Tiger any more.

I assume that since you are happy with Leopard you must already be 
productively using it without work stoppage.  Since I installed it on 
Friday I have spent quite a few hours working to get the system to do 
everything it did before.  It still does not quite do everything it 
did before.
