Re: Leopard - 1
Except that http://store.apple.com/Catalog/Australia/Images/promobar_leopard_utd.html Says Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard and its 300-plus new features and innovations are coming Oct. 26, 2007. If you buy a qualifying Mac between October 1, 2007 and December 29, 2007, and it does not include Mac OS X Leopard, you©re eligible to get Leopard after it©s released for just A$ 12.95 plus tax. Which to me says that the update is not free but costs $12.95 (not much, but still seems off to pay to update to the current system if you are buying between the release date and 29 Dec). Still confused. Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My take on it is that macs that are still in the store (channel) with Tiger on them won't have someone go around, take them out of the box and install a copy of Leopard on them and put them back in the box before they're sold. If you're lucky you might get a set of disks when you buy them I guess. At cost is $12.95 to cover postage, media and handling.
