Holey cow, that is so cheap. But, is it an upgrade? I mean, for Windows, for 99.99 you get the "Upgrade" version, which is really dumb. See, the thing is, I bought an OEM windows machine, and I have since upgraded everything about it, to the point where the only hardware from the older machine still in mine is the hard drive and some ram. But, Windows is the same, and it bugs me. It doesn't give you a choice of what you want to install. So, when I start up, I have AOL, BigFix, Napster, a whole lotta BS. So, that is why I want to get a "clean" un oem version of windows, and that costs, for the non upgrade version, 199.99. When I saw the price for OSX, I thot it looked very attractive. So, the price where it is now is awesome.
There is no such thing as an upgrade version of OS X, every version is the full version. Unless it comes with the computer, then it is tied to that computer.Rapmastac1 said:
Not entirely true; Apple doesn't generally sell "upgrade" versions, but the Up To Date copies they "give away" (not quite) are upgrade copies--they refuse to install unless you have the previous version installed. I was once stuck in a situation where I had upgrade versions of 10.1 and 10.2, so to install I literally needed to install 10.0, then upgrade it to 10.1, then to 10.2. But that was sort of a fluke.iBookG4user said:
In fact, after checking some things out. Almost all versions are upgrade. Well, for the Intel versions at least. The thing is, they don't want to sell the normal version of the intel software, becuase people can simply install it on their machines, ie pcs. Now, I'm not 100% true on this, but it is mostly true. But I'm not sure about the IBM proc versions.

What? Apple doesn't sell 10.4 for Intel because any Intel machine already ships with 10.4....
