I suppose then from now out every time you reinstall, you will need both disks.
I wonder what happens whenever the next one comes out, install leopard, then
Snow Leopard, then whatever?

In the past there have been upgrade CDs that check for an existing
installation on the hard drive. I suspect they will do something like that.

The 'low price' really isn't that low. iWork is $40, iLife is $40 and
the last couple upgrades have been $80 I think. Just shows that in
truth Apple products are very affordable! Sure you can buy a PC for
$600, but you Office is going to cost you enough to balance out the
difference of a mac! They are a hardware company, not a software
company. I expect it will be a full upgrade disc.

Good questions Kevin, haven't really heard anything as of yet. With
such a low price, i'd think it'd just be an upgrade disc, but not
sure. Hard to say.

So how are they doing this? Is this gonna be an update pushed to the
leopard
machines after a purchase is made, or do you go to an apple store
and show
proof of purchase and get a retail copy. If you get a disk, will it
be a
full install, or just an upgrade disk, whereby you need leopard
first, much
like the windows disks. Just some random questions.

Wow, I like that they do the honor system with this. I hope people
don't start abusing it and buying it for Tiger machines, but most of
the stuff running Tiger probably won't support it anyways.

You should contact Apple and register the machine with them. I may
be
wrong on this since I have not purchased a machine in this way, but
when you install the OS, you register and that info is updated. You
could call Apple Care at (1-800) 275-2273 and see if you can
register
it in your name. Either way, I don't think it will make any
difference. Either way, I would not be concerned about this because
of course once you get your copy of Snow Leopard, you would be
registering it in your name and there is as far as I can recall no
proof of purchase required when purchasing the upgrade.

Oh, I thought I heard that it gets to be a problem with ones sold
on
Ebay because the machine itself might be registered in someone
else's name.
