You have to buy the new OS if you want it. It retails for around Rs. 7,000. I would also advise you to wait till November for the new OS, Leopard.
Meanwhile, you can buy this month's issue of Digit for a Fast Track to Apple.

Quicktime updated to 7.2.
* Support for full screen viewing in QuickTime Player
* Updates to the H.264 codec
* Numerous bug fixes
Yeah, I know the full screen viewing is a bit late in the game, especially since one will be able to view fullscreen movies using Leopard's Quicklook feature. Still, its an update worth mentioning nonetheless. I'll continue using Quicktime pro though...
Also updated: Itunes 7.3.1 (bug fixes and problem of some not being able to access their library)

A bug in iTunes 7.3 causes the "iTunes cannot save library issue (unknown error -50)"
Apple then updated iTunes to 7.3.1 And iTunes was mainly updated due to iPhone(3 days after its launch)

When you buy a Mac, you get ease of use for free.
@rakeshishere, iTunes was updated to 7.3 the day the iPhone was launched, not three days after its release.
It is Apple we are talking about. Of course it is that simple.spironox said:

Nope, make sure you backup & note all the license files you have for your applications. Make sure you also get new Leopard compatible versions of your applications cos Mac OS X has no backward compatibility.

Oh and in case of installing Vista, no need for backups! It runs perfectly without hiccups! OS X upgrades that I've seen have been so seamless. There's also an "Archive and install" option, where all your old system files are backed up either on disk or somewhere else in case one needs them.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I am not talking about only "OS" upgrade. I am talking about "OS & Application" upgrade. I hope you have installed & updated Mac OS X. In case you have not...
1) Suppose Mac OS X 10.4 is installed on a Mac with all your apps & they are registered with license files etc.
2) You upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5, guess what, 95% of the applications will break. Reason, those application need to be updated to work with Leopard. So in case you are using some app which u require a lot, make sure an Upgrade for leopard is available before you upgrade to Leopard.
A very good example. UNO 1.51, which works with Mac OS X 10.4.9 but not with 10.4.10 cos well, the application needs to be updated for Mac OS X 10.4.10 as there is no backward compatibility in Mac OS.
Windows also has some problem, but I think you do know that Vista is backward compatible even with Windows 200 "only" apps. When you upgrade a XP System to Vista, don't worry. 95% old apps will be at the old location & all will work fine. If they don't just run them in compatibility mode.

Five Lesser-Known Tips on Being an Apple Fanboy
*theappleblog.com/2007/07/06/five-lesser-known-tips-on-how-to-be-an-apple-fanboy/
[snipped-off the beginning]
But in the last decade, the Apple world has changed, and we are surrounded by a multitude of people and press who are following Steve Jobs’ every move. What used to be the realm of MacOSRumors is now strutted about in CNET, the Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press. We have open debates about the iPhone, iPod and iTunes in cover stories on Newsweek and Time. And Apple stock is achieving all-time highs, seemingly every day. Rather than root for the old days, I thought I’d add some helpful, lesser-known tips to the new Apple fans among us, so that they can help spread the Macintosh religion.
1. Never Admit Fault With Apple Around Non-Mac People
Is your computer running slowly? Are you seeing application crashes and annoyances? Sometimes it does happen, even on a Mac. If you are experiencing issues, the last thing you want to do is grouse about them in front of a Windows bigot or Linux fan. Even if it’s not the Mac’s fault, they will say, “Oh, I see. A Mac! No wonder…” or some derivative that will only reinforce their opinions. Instead, first, troubleshoot the issue on your own time. Failing resolution, consult with a fellow Mac fan under the cover of darkness, or slink into an Apple Store and have a conversation with a Mac genius. And if it turns out that the issues were due to an older machine, then by all means, upgrade and tell everyone how great your new machine is!
