US DTV Patent Royalties Are $24–$40

    BZZZT Wrong, your OSX 10.2 is still upgradeable to 10.2.x. Your XP is not upgradeable to Vista for free, which is what you are asking for. You want Leopard for free because some new software requires it. Your 10.2 has not stopped working. Any software that requires Vista would "Stop working" on your XP-PC as well.

    In other words, get over it.
