You can pre-order a SL disc if you have bought a new machine since the start of June (if memory serves me correct).
Hopefully they'll be sent so they are delivered on release date

If only I had - new machine is going to have to wait for a goodish while - I need to replace a failing camera first

We have had ours for just over 3 weeks now and when we bought it we were told we could get the upgrade for something like £8 or I may have misheard him!

That only applies to those who have bought a new Mac very recently .
I'm talking about people with older machines who are using Leopard at present

Oh.. I was replying to the post from the user that has only had a Mac three weeks..

Getting itchy about an OS upgrade, Goldie? Whatever happened to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Occasionally I do break my own resolutions
BUT like I said - a new camera is probably going to be coming first
Note - that link came from the USA - not here

i heard this update is not that big but the switch to 64bit is going to help.

Is there any news on pricing for the UK?

But that's not news, just inbuilt cynicism

It wouldn't surprise me, Bill!
The up to date scheme costs £7.95 for UK users and $9.95 for US users. If it reflected the true exchange rate then it would cost £5.87, or £5.95 for the sake of making it look a nicer more Apple-friendly figure.
The Irish will be paying �8.95 to update their recently purchased new Macs under the scheme. Going by the exchange rate that should be �6.95.
I know it's not exactly a lot of money, but still

Got mine ordered through the update scheme. £7.95. Hopefully it will arrive on the day it is released.

When apps start to take advantage of the new features such as GCD and OpenCL you should see some pretty hefty performance gains. From a user point of view there aren't that many new features in SL, but from an architectural standpoint it's got a lot new in it.

Yep me too.

The USA price does not include sales tax. You need to factor in 15% VAT which adds another £1 to the UK price.

However if you get a First day or first week or first month shipment of SL - apply the first rule of software survival - do not be the first person to install it, and preferably wait for the third point release to have been shipped and installed before you go ahead with the install of SL.
A slightly slow but predictable environment is a more satisfactory work environment than a bleeding edge adventure.

I'll be installing it during the first week of release.

Good - you can let us know how good it is <g>
