Duff-Man says....the only OS X "upgrades" are through the up-to-date program, which basically only ever applies to copies bought (or computers shipped with copies) of the "old" OS after the announcement of the official shipping date of the new version. For example, if on March 24 Apple announces that 10.4 ships on April 24, then people that buy 10.3 or buy a Mac with 10.3 preloaded on or after April can get 10.4 for just the cost of shipping and handling - traditionally $19.95. Now, all that is based on past experience...they have not said anything official about 10.4 upgrades but it is probably safe to assume it will probably be the same....oh yeah!
