    Here's why there is not a $129 SL upgrade for Tiger users. Tiger users save money here.

    i would just like to clarify before i upgrade (have no choice - new programs require leopard or above)

    if i get the 9.99 install disk, will it work the same as the 29 upgrade? my friend just bought a mac and can get the upgrade disk for 9.99

    EULAs are the bane of modern software.

    Yea, no offense but this really is old hat. Since launch it's been confirmed that you can use the $29 SL upgrade disc to upgrade tiger. Also, there's no CD keys or regstration, you can use one $29 version of SL to upgrade multiple machines with no consequence. I found this out after Apple screwed up my pre-order and I got impatient with my other mac.

    If you're looking for backup on the whole tiger direct upgrade, check ars [ www.arstechnica.com] if memory serves, they reported on both the tiger part *AND* the lack of registration of SL.
