Leopard available on already ordered Macs

October 16, 2007

I ordered two iMacs about a week ago (I had good reason to) and with today’s announcement about a confirmed release date for Leopard (26th October) I was wondering what my options would be to upgrade to Leopard.One option was just to order two copies (setting me back 170 UK Earth Pounds). I knew that in the transition to Tiger some allowances / rebates were allowed for those who had bought new Macs within x number of days prior to the release. I phoned the Apple online store and asked what my options were as I preferred not to spend the extra cash. The nice girl on the phone told me that since my order was still open (i.e. not dispatched) I would be emailed in the next 24 hours and asked if I wanted automagically upgraded to Leopard. This may affect my delivery date but I’m happier that I get my iMacs with Leopard preinstalled and save £170.I phoned about 8 hours ago so hopefully the email will be in my inbox by morning.macosx-index-hero200710261.jpg
