It will cost the same as Tiger does now (£89).

which works out at $189. a big difference don't you think?
anyway I'll buy it but I take it it will be available to us brits at the same time as in the us?

Yep it is a big difference, but I thought us Brits were used to that? It will be available at the same time, they update all the stores around the world as soon as the speech releasing it is over.

There is the slight possibility of a price alignment (read drop) with the US dollar.

don't get me wrong with expensive stuff like macs I know there's a big price hike over here but this is a new os not a new mac.

lets hope and pray the we don't need to take a loan out to buy an iphone

You're all kidding!! It's a massive difference in price sucky corporate pricing strategies - When is the exact release date 4 Leopard does anybody know??

Another thing apart from the displaying enhancements does Leopard actually make much of a difference in terms of performance 2 Tiger??? And does it take up space as well??? 🙂

Well there are a fair few improvements to Leopard which could have a positive impact on performance (fully 64 bit for one and it is rumoured to have better multi processor support) and yes it will take up space 🙂.
