Why is the new Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard so cheap?

Apple really desires that the majority of their users have the same OS, pricing it cheap is one good assurance that that would happen. Secondly, it is not a major overhaul, which might have led Apple to price it much lower.
It doesn't have any new features. Though it may be a huge technological leap underneath, Apple's mainstream user base is looking for new, flashy, cool stuff before they hand over $130.
$29 (or $10 if you bought your Mac recently) is a price that I don't see how anyone can refuse. For all the small, but subtle improvements that just makes using the OS easier, quicker, and more efficient, $29 is a downright bargain.

Is it easy to install Leopard? All my computers came with the operating system already installed and I've never installed a new OS.
Do you have to uninstall the other operating system? I don't know much about computers.
