New computer and Leopard upgrade?

[soiltestME]

I'm ready for a new computer. I'm thinking that in the past a computer buy close to a new system release would allow for a free upgrade?

If so, anyone remember how close to a new system release this was allowed?

As far as I know, every time Apple has done this the time period you're eligible for a free upgrade begins when they announce a specific shipping date for the new OS. Which they haven't yet.

I think it generally ends up being a month or two before the new OS ships--the'll be an announcement of some sort.
