I have also done some reading on using a Retail disk that I have for 10.5 (I also have a real mac) and wanted to know if there are any advantages of using a Retail disk over a distro like iPC. I see that iPC includes drivers to make the install process easer. I also can find that the only advantage to using a Retail disk is updating is easy. I may be wrong and I hope I am. I want to beleive that using a retail install being that it is more complicated will provide more compatability to software. Am I corrrect that the retail install will provide better compatability?

Ok so I have been doing some reading and have a question. I know that retail OSX install can update just using apple's updater but iPC you need to run through a few steps to update from 10.5.6 to .7
If the only thing iPC removed from the retail is bootcamp and the printer drivers why cant I use apple's software updater?
