So, I bought an iMac about 3 months ago. What OS/version am I most likely to have? 
I know that is a dumb question but I'm not at home, and I'm a new mac user (I'm mainly a PC guy, or have been, and I really only use my iMac to watch DVDs and play COH). What OS would I have been given at that time on a new iMac?
Basically, am I going to have to swing by the apple store to pick up whatever that latest OS release is, or what?

Way up in the upper left corner you'll see the Apple menu (it looks like the Apple logo). Pull that down and select About This Mac, it'll tell you what version of MacOS X you're using.
At 3 months ago, you're most likely using at least 10.5.7, which is fine. Snow Leopard is $30 though, so it's not a huge barrier to upgrading.

Just a heads up -
A few complaints from Mac users on the Beta boards, me included. Seems that the text client was delivering a message when clicked on saying "This program does not work with your present version of Mac OS X" (paraphrased...)
Anyhow, I was running 10.5.6 (because that's what it came with and I am lazy about upgrading). I upgraded to 10.5.7 and all works swimmingly well. Upgraded again to 10.5.8 and all works well.
I'm thinking that I16 may be the first version that ceases to work on earlier versions of OS X, which probably includes 10.4 (some of the people complaining on the beta boards were 10.4 users).
I know the devs have been saying that support for the older OSs was ceasing, but it seems as if the game will no longer work on those older OS versions either. And even some relatively recent versions like 10.5.6 (but upgrading from those to newer versions of 10.5 is free, so shouldn't be too much of an issue).
