WWDC Keynote Starting Soon, Grand Central Banners

[Eidorian]

You're wrong.

It looks like Best Buy document says they're not charging this time around like they did with Vista. The upgrade presells are $49 for Home Premium and $99 for Professional.

What does Apple mean by "Leopard users" getting the $29 price? Please don't make it an UPGRADE with the installer checking for a Leopard installation.

Okay, I just had to comment on this. I read $29 and thought it was a typo and they were missing a 1.

I'm all over this.

 

[Phil A.]

29 is nothing i will buy it.

BUT the features sound like a simple software update would suffice.

Apple is charging for an update.....

It's almost completely re-written under the hood - fully 64 bit, Grand Central, Cocoa Finder.

Some people are never satisfied

 

[luminosity]

How will people prove that they own Leopard? I didn't save my receipt or anything.

 

[marcre]

Everything is awesome so far. Little disappointed in the September delivery of SL, but it will be here soon enough.

 

[dL.]

Developers better step it up or else Snow Leopard won't get any gain.

dL

 

[Goona]

Neither is 29 dollars of snow leopard...its the upragde price.

SHow us an announcement from Microsoft showing us that's the price and not what your pulling out of thin air and desperate leaked documents.

Welcome to technology. By the time you buy it, it's obsolete. Life isn't fair...get over it.

you boys must have more money to burn than sense.

Moaning is a fact of life, its just how better you get at it. if your going to launch a product, give it time to settle in. Apple new clearly they made a mistake with the original 13inch and held their breath upon this new release.

Very disapointed.

 

[srexy]

Looks like my MBP will be on Ebay pretty soon...

13" MBP FTMFW!

Presumably it will only work as an upgrade to Leopard.

Well, Vista got one. And MS is charging more for it.

Pop in the disk, checks to see if you have 10.4 or 10.5?

 

[Goona]

Where the heck is the so called "Marble"?

Desperate?? Haha, if you don't believe you'll find out soon enough i suppose.

it means that if you are currently using Tiger, you will probably have to pay the $129 for SL

Apple's installers have always had a Bad Machine check. Checking to see if Leopard is installed should be just as easy.

Yeah it's $29 for the UPGRADE.

 

[Shivetya]

13" MBP FTMFW!

I would join you but the 13 does not offer discreet video, if it did I would not touch a 15

 

[BlizzardBomb]

Gotta say HexMonkey is doing a great job keeping up with the updates over at Mac Guides.

No clean installs, or is that different?

 

[fleshman03]

Windows 7 - Home Premium.
$50.



Still, $29 is less.

 

[Razeus]

Wonder if there'll be an upgrade path from Tiger to Snow Leopard.

lol. Hope you have an Intel Mac. If you do, I'm sure you're paying the full $129. I like how they just forgot to mention that part.

 

[puffnstuff]

Screen recording? Yes? No?

 

[Nikolai01]

Heh...$29. I've just been using 10.4, waiting for snow leopard cause I usually skip systems for financial reasons. Guess I didn't need to here. Any guess how much the full snow leopard will be? $120?

I'm gussing that was all just smoke.
