Apple Offers Cheap Jaguar Server Upgrade for XServe

Posted by pudge on from the it-does-not-help-me-though-so-it-still-sucks dept.

MaxVlast writes "Macintouch is reporting that Apple is extending the Mac OS X Up-to-Date and Mac OS X Server Up-to-Date programs to include Jaguar Server upgrades for just $19.95 in response to intense criticism. This is good news to people who just bought an expensive XServe with expensive Mac OS X Server who don't very much want to pay the full upgrade price." Apple also added that people who bought Mac OS X 10.1 retail, by itself, can get an upgrade if purchased July 17 or later.

  1. Darwin sync'ing? by raddan · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Being a BSD'er, I'm used to being able to do the OS updates for free. Since development continues on Darwin, does anyone know if it is possible to update Darwin under 10.2 without breaking it?

    Ack, I've already bought software for 10.2. Anyone know if 10.2 software will be forward-compatible with future "MacOS X"'s?

    IMHO, it seems a bit abrupt to be charging for an upgrade already- the developer community seems to have just gotten rolling...
