Kash Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Yea, but it's nowhere near as good as the one for Tiger. You only get like $10 off now, which sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddamttocs Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 yeah kinda bummed about only 10 dollar discount, but i haven't seen or heard of any Apple Stores in Canada ( or at least one that accepts educational discounts) so I have to order online to get my discounts. I'm not going to pre-order this, I'm going to wait until those sweet iMacs come with it! any mac after bought after Oct 1st and before the release date will get a fee upgrade to leopard afaik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Close to free. The Leopard Up-to-Date Program lets you upgrade for $10, which is pretty much to cover the cost of shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 So it wouldn't be free then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 The software itself is free, you just pay for shipping. Saving $119 out of $129 is a pretty good deal. I'd like to see Microsoft offer something like this (those free copies were for the Home Basic or Business versions, Leopard is more like Ultimate, so the MS deal isn't the same) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty11212 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 well since I have the family edition of leopard (cant wait for it to arrive) I guess I can pick up a mackbook pro from microcenter or something non apple so I dont feel bummed out about the almost-free upgrade to leopard and make good use of my family pack.

Why would you buy a Mac now when in six days you can get it with Leopard pre-installed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Why would you buy a Mac now when in six days you can get it with Leopard pre-installed? because I already have the family pack pre-ordered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 But why waste a license when you can get a copy for free in just a few days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 But why waste a license when you can get a copy for free in just a few days? so what will I do with the others? give them away for free to family members? While I understand that its worth getting the one for free, then I wont be getting what I paid for when it comes to the family pack.

That would be pretty cool if they did though, but too bad I already have Ultimate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
