What is your opinion / thought process on buying a Snow Leopard upgrade?

Snow Leopard on Amazon is $29.

That said, Mac OS 10.7 (“Lion”) is expected to be out “soon” (summer, maybe, definitely sometime in 2010) and it may be $29 or it may go back to $129.

Personally I think Snow Leopard is worth $30 even if you only get 3 months use out of it before Lion comes out. Plus, if the software you want to buy is available on the App Store AND the developer’s site, in most cases you want to buy it from the App Store (unless you’re looking for betas, demos, or upgrade/educational pricing).

Thanks, Smartie.

You’re welcome. By the way I just realized that the ask box wasn’t open. It is now.
