Why? Apple products have always been such that to gain maximum "value" they need to be bought at launch. And isnt an OS upgrade going to be 'just' $30?

- Zarel 14y agoThe keynote and Apple website point out that all purchases of Macs from now on will come with a free upgrade to Mountain Lion once it's released. I wonder if the free upgrade will be the App Store version that allows you to install it on all authorized versions. If so, this could be an advantage to buying after the Mountain Lion release, since Macs that come with newer OSes generally don't allow you to upgrade your other Macs to the new OS.
- glhaynes 14y agoThe way it works now when you get a new Mac, the iLife apps (and presumably Lion) are "granted" to the Apple ID you use to register the computer. Thus you can use that ID to install them on other computers.
