I don't know about that... hasn't Apple's stance in the past been that you have to have purchased the computer AFTER the launch of the new operating system in order to receive a free upgrade to the new operating system?

Apple has no program public as of now, but you can see the previous program here:

yeah, but those dates of the program coincided with the announcement of Tiger, Apple officially announced the release date of Tiger 2 weeks before Leopard, and that program basically said 'if you bought a mac between announcment and release, you can get it free. i would be surprised if apple gave you leopard free.
there is of course apples 14-day 'return' policy, but that's if they release leopard less than 14 days after you bought it.

Apple launched a $9.95 update program today. If you bought your Mac after October 1st, 2007, you most likely qualify.

hawki18 said he bought it "this last weekend" and his post was dated October 9th, so I'm assuming he made his purchase on October 6th or 7th.

arrrrggghh!!! I bought a new MacBook on the 17th of September. I would have hoped they would have a 60-90 day free upgrade. 25 days!! LAME!!
I called Apple (408.974.2042) and asked for Customer Relations and lodged a formal complaint about the narrow window for the OS upgrade. The lady took my info, serial # and phone number and said they take complaints seriously. Wait and see. Call them and see what happens.

I'm cool, I have a mac.
I know, our school ordered 5 MacBooks September 29!
It's been pretty widely publicized for quite some time that Leopard will be out in October. I know everyone wants everything for free but there has to be a cut off date.
