I'd been using my new Macbook for work, and my company just got me a Macbook Pro as an upgrade. I realized when I started it up though that while the speed, ram etc are still an upgrade from my Macbook, the Pro is obviously not brand new as it's running Tiger while my Macbook has Leopard.

I wanted to transfer all my junk over to the Pro for work, so I tried using Migration Assistant. The disk showed up on my desktop and I could see all the apps, files etc from my Macbook, but Migration Assistant continued to say 'waiting for disks to appear' for an hour or so, so I gave up.

I'm assuming I'll need to install Leopard in order for the Assistant to work? Is there another way to quickly/easily transfer all my info over without buying a copy of Leopard?

switch tiger to the mb and leopard to the mbp, call up apple to help you with the licenses, they need to do computer stuff to sort out transferring an os from one comp. to another, otherwise the system will say that that license for the os has already been used. then migrate from tiger to leopard. leopard migration assistant was designed for tiger to leopard tiger migration assistant was made years before leopard, leopard to tiger is like going backwards in time. If you cannot switch os's then keep the macbook, while a mbp running leopard is superior to a macbook running leopard, a mb running leopard is superior to anything running tiger.

Ok...I guess I will just try to get my company to buy a copy of Leopard for the Macbook Pro. I don't want to switch the OS's because the Macbook is my own computer and almost brand new, while the Macbook Pro belongs to the company I work for.
