Snow Leopard

[roalgumo7]

Well, on the past WWDC keynote, Jobs talked a bit about Snow Leopard, but I didn't get enaugh info.

So my question is, is it going to be like a free upgrade for Leopard users, or is it going to be like all others and you got to go buy it?

I can tell you its going to cost. How much?

...

Don't know that one. But I'm reckoning that it will be mainly built for Intel, and if there is any PPC support, it'll be G5.

Of course, I wouldn't know these things myself...

It will be in now way free. Expect to pay in the $50 - $100 range....

Hmm.. then I guess I should just wait for it to come out, then buy a new mac computer...

I would love for it to be free, but likewise doubt that it will. I sort of feel a bit pissed if there are hardly any new features but just better coding. To me if you are just making the code leaner and better, than well you should have waited to release it until it was lean and mean.

What is with all the software updates (3 major ones) since it has been released last year? If I am not mistaken they have made fun of Microsoft Windows in the past for having numerous updates, but now they can't say that.

i got the idea that it was going to be a leopard update.
i dont think i would pay for snow leopard if its going to basically be the same.

if they are expecting to charge leopard users it better be pretty fantastic!

Well, I think I've got an idea now.. now let's see what happens.

Would be nice from SJ if it was just an update, but my bet is no, and that it will charge close to normal new OS from update.
