Don’t complain just because you apparently upgraded to leopard as well. I almost did, but then decided it just wasn’t a worthwhile switch.

I’m still not sure I’ll upgrade to 10.6 either, and I might wait until I get a new laptop. But then I’m not really sure I need to do that either…

It costs $$ to play with the latest stuff, so don’t be bitter because you couldn’t wait and other could and might still continue to…

Actually, I still love my Mac and hopefully – she’ll continue “roaring” for many moons to come…

If anything, these users might consider upgrading to Leopard 10.5. Which means $ for Apple. Of course, users upgrading to a new Intel-based computer means $$$ for Apple.

The assumption here is that Apple wants/hopes/needs everyone to upgrade to take advantage of something unannounced, and are pricing the upgrade accordingly.

Here’s a post on my analysis:

No serial number is required. Apple’s Family Packs are on the “honor system”, and the box set and SL packages probably are, too. This wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I don’t think Apple has any desire (nor should they) of setting up “Apple Genuine Advantage” (as if!) to police this process. More trouble than it’s worth.

Imagine the headache that would occur if Apple sells “Snow Leopard Clean Slate Version”, “Snow Leopard Up-to-date version”, “Snow Leopard Leopard Upgrade Version”, “Snow Leopard Tiger Upgrade Version” and a few other editions of its server software. This is not Windows and its crazy upgrade chart. There are only two Snow Leopards: a home and a server version.
