I have 10.5 and held off on purchasing 10.6 because I was waiting for 10.7. It bums me out that now I'll need to purchase both 10.6 and 10.7, regardless of how much the Windows upgrades cost. Judging from some of the tweets & comments I'm seeing elsewhere, a lot of other consumers are bummed too.
- ecuzzillo 15y ago10.6 is fairly easily piratable, though.
- pistacchio 15y agoif you can afford a mac, i guess you can afford saving 0.80 dollars a month for buying a $30 OS update every 2 years.
- mikeleeorg 15y agoAdmittedly, I'm cheap. I prized my $400 Dell Vostro for years and reluctantly switched to a Mac because I was ultimately convinced it was a better machine for software development. I ended up buying a used MBPro for ~$800.
- jsz0 15y agoYou could wait until iTunes becomes incompatible with 10.5 and Apple will give you a free OS upgrade. (assuming they continue this policy in the no-PC required to activate iOS devices future)
- andymoe 15y agoAny money says 10.5 -> 10.7 will work (some how ;-)
- 5teev 15y agoYes, in spite of claims to the contrary, 10.4 -> 10.6 worked for several people I know.
