You may be able to get 10.1 for free, you could when they released it, not sure if that deal is long since expired. Wait a sec, no you can't get it for free because Apple would stop selling 10.1 at the release of 10.2.

So yes, you will need to pay $129 for Jaguar, then upgrade it. I would recommend it anyway, even if you find some way to get 10.1. This isn't Windows here, the differences between versions is huge.

And Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" is being revealed in 10 short days :)

Y are there so many updates?

I don't like having to constantly buy software.

There's not many updates. Hasn't been a major update for a year, you're just a late adaptor.

Yeh I guess.

Well maybe I will buy Jaguar for work. Is it easy to upgrade?

Very easy to upgrade.

As in follow through the "wizard" so to Windows speak?

As in pop in the disc, follow instructions. It's pretty much a universal installer. Not hard to follow.

sweet

Thanks for ur help ppls

gekko, will Panther be $129?

Also, do you know of the major improvements featured in it? i.e. new software, faster, ...

$129? Probably. Doubt they'll release a major update for free.

No clue about anything for it. Nothing has been revealed yet. We likely won't be seeing it for at least a few more months.
