Just me or is the Leopard boxing and logo much sexier than Snow Leopard/Lion?

So.... how are you supposed to update Leopard before the USB version of Lion is released?

I think this update is aimed more towards people transferring data from a PPC Mac to a new Mac running Lion.

For those of you who skipped Snow Leopard - you missed out on a great OS. My fav so far.
