speaking of snow leopard, i heard from apple that if anyone has tiger still and they want to upgrade to snow leopard, they can directly without needing leopard first.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
Alex, I know we'll have to wait and see, but I'm very curious about this myself and I'm sure it could be an upgrade. However, it just seems to me the differences are so significant, I question the idea of it being an upgrade. And I guess it really doesn't matter because we really don't have that long to wait and find out. :) On Jun 18, 2009, at 9:51 PM, Alex Jurgensen wrote: > > HI, > > I bet it will be just like 10.5.10, but instead of 10.5.10 it will be > 10.6.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
HI, I bet it will be just like 10.5.10, but instead of 10.5.10 it will be 10.6. I think you will just install from 10.5 and then use who knows what to autorize it, because apple has no serial numbers.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
I think MS still does these yet.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
Hi, I bet it may just be the full install disk of Snow Leopard when you buy the upgrade. What you are forgetting is that this is an Intel only version of the OS, so the number of Intel only Macs that shipped with Tiger compared to Leopard is relatively small. Not to mention those owners who already upgraded to Leopard reduce that number even more. I'm just speculating, but most people who have a mac that can run Snow Leopard, already have Leopard by definition. Time will tell. --Scott At 6:00 PM -0400 6/18/09, Scott Howell wrote: When I purchased my copy of Leopard, it was a full copy and didn't care if I had Tiger installed.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
When I purchased my copy of Leopard, it was a full copy and didn't care if I had Tiger installed. I think this version is going to be significant enough that an upgrade disk would be quite a surprise. It is in many ways a different os, if you will.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
It will be a full copy of Snow Leopard. I have never heard of Apple offering an upgrade disk like Microsoft used to do. I don't think they even do that any longer, but hey with Microsoft, nothing surprises me. :) On Jun 18, 2009, at 12:40 AM, Alex Jurgensen wrote: > > Hi, > > They usually don't have upgrade disks.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
I guess it depends on if they treat Snow Leopard as a full separate release or just an upgrade. From the pricing it sounds like it's just an upgrade to 10.5 so they might go the upgrade route. At the same time, it adds complexity down the road. If you're doing a fresh install you have to install the old OS just to install the upgrade, which is a waste of time and you have to keep track of your old disks just in case. That's not the Apple way. I guess we'll find out in September. CB Brent Harding wrote: > I suppose then from now out every time you reinstall, you will need > both disks.

The 'low price' really isn't that low. iWork is $40, iLife is $40 and the last couple upgrades have been $80 I think. Just shows that in truth Apple products are very affordable!

Hi, They usually don't have upgrade disks. They are usually full install disks. Regards, Alex, On 17-Jun-09, at 8:48 PM, Kevin Reeves wrote: > > So how are they doing this?

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
Good questions Kevin, haven't really heard anything as of yet. With such a low price, i'd think it'd just be an upgrade disc, but not sure. Hard to say.

RE: Pricing on Snow Leopard
So how are they doing this? Is this gonna be an update pushed to the leopard machines after a purchase is made, or do you go to an apple store and show proof of purchase and get a retail copy. If you get a disk, will it be a full install, or just an upgrade disk, whereby you need leopard first, much like the windows disks. Just some random questions. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brandon Misch Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:42 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard well, i'm sure the intel machines that use tiger will use leopard. only power pc macs won't work.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
You should contact Apple and register the machine with them. I may be wrong on this since I have not purchased a machine in this way, but when you install the OS, you register and that info is updated. You could call Apple Care at (1-800) 275-2273 and see if you can register it in your name. Either way, I don't think it will make any difference. Either way, I would not be concerned about this because of course once you get your copy of Snow Leopard, you would be registering it in your name and there is as far as I can recall no proof of purchase required when purchasing the upgrade.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard
Yes, it is gong to be available to you for $30. If you purchased a Mac since June 2009, you can order a copy for $9.99 or $9.95. I do not believe there was a specific date beyond June 2009, but someone will correct me if I am wrong. Normally the upgrade has been $129 regardless of which version you are upgrading from, which is still an incredible price.

Re: Pricing on Snow Leopard was Re: Podcast about VO in Snow Leopard
Alex, Agreed! I couldn't beleive it when they said to upgrade from OSX 10.5 to the next OS Was only $29. This is the OS plus the screen reader plus the screen enlargement. All for $29. Already have the money set aside to buy it the day it comes out. Tell me. Where could you get all that on Windows? I think the OS upgrade alone is several hundred dollars. Nevermind if you have to by a new screen reader, at best that would be several hundred bucks as well at worst nearly 1,000 and same for screen enlarger. Apple should be comended for how fair and good they are doing. Not costing us an arm and a leg and a leg for their products and ten more for bolt-on access software. Quite pleased and don't mind a bit to buy their products. Not so when I was on Windows. Oh how I grumped about that. well have a good day Jenny On 6/15/09, Alex Jurgensen wrote: > > Hi, > > List, Thirty bucks over Leopard.
