As per Steve jobs announcement, Leopard comes in different versions.

1) Basic version - $129
2) business version - $129
3) premium version - $129
4) ultimate version - $129

Confused? hehe.

Dude It's Apple. Don't ever think of multiple confusing versions of single OS. It's just one version that has everything in it and sells for $129. Beat that Microsoft. ;-)

Just look at the video : *news.com.com/1606-2_3-6190253.html?tag=ne.video.6190253

A Cruel Surprise.
Jobs drew gasps of disapproval when he introduced the “basic version of Leopard” for $129, and then mentioned a new "premium version.”

It was also $129, Jobs explained to the hushed, rumoring audience, which then burst into applause. Jobs continued introducing “a new Business version at $129, a new Enterprise version at $129, and a new Ultimate version at $129,” all to thundering applause and cheers.

Oh really? I don't need to buy a Mac Mini to run Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". It runs just fine on my existing Mac.

@gx_saurav.

Price of Leopard is almost equal to Windows XP Professional x64 edition.

I can get a mac mini shipped with leopard for 35k or make it 40k.

Vista Ultimate itself is Rs.15k. Hardware required to run it will cost you around 20k. I am talking about hardware that keeps vista alive without hanging the desktop.

And say welcome to Vista's numerous bugs, driver issues, incompatible softwares blah blah blah.

Something that I forgot to mention:

Leopard single-residence, five user license : suggested price of $200.

awesome pricing strategy.
