I have two versions of Leopard. The Boxed one I bought from Apple  
when it was first released and the Restore Version that came with my  
new MacBook Pro.
True, the Restore version might not be able to be used on another  
machine but the Original Box version will. I have used that to  
install it on my iMac G5. Never tried it on a PC though.
