Warbrain · Oct 16, 2007, 08:41 AM

Education discount is lame now. I remember when it was 79 dollars, now it's 116. Only 13 off the actual price...

OllyW · Oct 16, 2007, 08:41 AM

£4 cheaper than Tiger!

Bargain...

Southernboy · Oct 16, 2007, 08:41 AM

Thank goodness for that... off to pre-order a family pack.

Deej · Oct 16, 2007, 08:41 AM

Hurrah!!!

So now the debate is whether to pre-order Online, or queue to buy it from a store - which one will get me Leopard sooner??!!

DeaconGraves · Oct 16, 2007, 08:41 AM

Education discount is now only $116.

I kinda understood the price hike for iWork (extra program and all), but this is stupid.

croasmun · Oct 16, 2007, 08:42 AM

The EDU discount is currently listed at $116 (compared to $129); I seem to remember it being much better for previous upgrades ($79?)... wow, that will really change adoption rates for students...

Edit: just checked, the EDU price for Tiger was $69 according to this review.

randallisation · Oct 16, 2007, 08:43 AM

YAY, Finally, just pre-ordered a Family pack for my Macs at home!

WannaGoMac · Oct 16, 2007, 08:43 AM

Any idea if there is a free upgrade on new Macs as of today??

In Sams World · Oct 16, 2007, 08:43 AM

When do you think iMacs and Macbooks will get shipped with this?

jaw04005 · Oct 16, 2007, 08:44 AM

Well they took the opportunity to increase their education pricing of the O/S all the way up to $116 from $69. That's ridiculous.

I was ready to shotgun purchase it at $69, but now to find it's unexpectedly higher (and more than that magic $100 threshold) it's going to be a lot harder for me to justify purchasing it.

JayBee · Oct 16, 2007, 08:44 AM

Any word on whether they'll be doing the usual "up to date" scheme for Macs bought from today till they start shipping preloaded?

How nice of Apple to out a £20 ($40) premium on top for UK customers
