Advantages: Cheaper than buying Leopard and iLife separately

Disadvantages: A newer version is out in a few months

At £149 I think this is a pretty good deal on Apple's part. Not only do you get OS X Leopard (which in itself used to cost around that £140 mark) but you also get the latest editions of iLife and iWork.
I found this product very useful, I didn't want to be stuck with OS X Tiger, while everybody else was buying new macs with Leopard pre-installed. A lot of applications I wanted to install on my macbook no longer offered Tiger support, so I knew I had to upgrade.
The installation was pretty quick too, and once it booted up I was amazed at the differences, both subtle and vast. Display seemed richer, things seemed to snap into place quicker, and my productivity was increased.
However, I didn't really want to buy iWork as I don't really use it, but buying Leopard an iLife separately worked out more expensive, so I opted for the Box Set.
One other thing, I also wished I waited that bit longer to upgrade, as Apple are releasing a newer version of their OS X, Snow Leopard.
It will only be available to Tiger users as part of a new Snow Leopard, iLife and iWork Box Set, due to be released this September!
So a bit gutted about that really.
Overall though, I am happy with OS X Leopard though, it gives me everything I need and much more.

Summary: Good product, wished I waited.

It's a boxset where you get the operating system Leopard, and newer versions of iLife and iWorks.
It's basically an inclusive package for those wishing to upgrade from Tiger. By selling all three products in one box it saves you money.

I've not heard of Mac Box Set and was somewhat confused by the review as it doesn't seem to actually say what it is?
