    The Panther link is a story about 10.2 from August 2002. No details whatsoever. I suppose I'l actually have to go and look for details now. :)

      I think they linked to the wrong one. Here is today's eWeek story that says the explicit reason they are pushing back WWDC is to announce Panther.

    The 10.1 upgrade was free from Apple stores and resellers or $20 for shipping and handling. Here.

    Macslash's article on the 10.2 pricing outrage had anecdotal posts saying that Apple typically charges for every other upgrade.

    In favour of free:
    In recent history apple has done one payed upgrade... one free...
    • 8.0 payed, 8.1 free
    • 8.5 payed, 8.6 free
    • 9.0 payed, 9.1 - 9.2 free
    • 10.0 payed, 10.1 free
    • 10.2 payed, 10.3???????????

    In favour of payed:
    Theres supposed to be some really funky new things in 10.3 - including a fully integrated X11 server, yay, double clickable X11 apps at last :D

    Sometimes you can get the airlines to let you change those "non-refundable" fares if you give them enough evidence that your reason for changing was beyond your control.

    I've heard the thing to do is to go to the airport, so you can talk to an actual human being face to face. Explain that you booked a flight to go to this conference, the conference got pushed back a month, and you'd like to reschedule your flight so that you can attend the rescheduled conference. Have printed documentation of what happened. If you can convince them that this was something you couldn't forsee, they willl often give you a break. Don't try this over a phone call, though. It won't work.

    Apple have never introduced new hardware at WWDC

    Check your facts before you post next time.

    I can't think of anything more important to Apple developers than a competitive hardware platform.
