Jude, I sincerely doubt that. The only people who will get Leopard that way are 1. the people who bought the computer a couple weeks (at most) before the launch date in October, at a discounted price 2. The people who purchase a computer in-store on or after the launch date where the computer does not have leopard preinstalled, for free.
A computer purchased right now, let alone April, will not be eligible for any sort of discount off of Leopard. Neither has Leopard ever been available for download, except through the Apple Developer connection website. Software Update is not enough for a major (not minor like 10.4.10 to 10.4.11) upgrade like from 10.4 to 10.5 in general. As for Leopard, I'm getting the same vibes from it that I did from Vista...Apple pushing it back, Apple saying it's not ready, beta testers saying it's not ready (I refrain from adding my own comments..)...I'll definitely upgrade for the dev tools and for the apps I use that will be 10.5 only, but other than that I don't have much of a choice..heck, all my major upgrades have been forced by the software I use not supporting the OS anymore. cheers, jane On 8/4/07, Jude DaShiell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The computer that I have was bought late enough in the software cycle that > it will be able to have 10.5 delivered by software update or so I've been > told.
