hey guys, i just got a new macbook pro (my first mac ever!) and i am loving it!
anyway, to cut to the chase, i've been reading around on the internet and i've seen that apple might be unveiling a new os this wednesday (os x 7, savannah lion or whatever they deem it), and I was just wondering since I just got my macbook will I need to pay for the os x 7 upgrade or will it be something that I can just access through the mac software update feature?
thanks for the info

Re: newbie question about upgrading mac os
Welcome to Info-Mac and the Mac experience in general!
Yes you'll have to pay for it.
They'll be talking about a what we should expect in 10.7. The operating system won't actually be available until next summer, if the Mac OS upgrade cycle of recent past is to be continued.heartlessomen wrote:since I just got my macbook will I need to pay for the os x 7 upgrade or will it be something that I can just access through the mac software update feature?

I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

Re: newbie question about upgrading mac os
hahaha alright, i figured that apple and their macs were great but not that great =P
hmm does apple usually price their os upgrades at relatively cheap prices like snow leopard is currently priced at?
thanks btw for the help =)

Re: newbie question about upgrading mac os
In the past it was always $129, until Snow Leopard broke that tradition. I think they did that to soften the misinterpretation that Snow Leopard wasn't "much" of an upgrade, because it introduced very little in the way of end-user features (but some major under-the-hood features). Who knows if it will go back to $129 again.heartlessomen wrote:hmm does apple usually price their os upgrades at relatively cheap prices like snow leopard is currently priced at?
