Holding off for Leopard to buy a MBP
I want a buy a new Mac Book Pro, but I am holding off for Leopard. I don't want to expend the extra $200 later. From your experience do you think Apple will offer any rebate for buying Leopard if I get a MBP before it is released?

Thanks
Sebastian

I think the standard way it's handled is that for any Mac bought after a new OS release date that doesn't ship with the latest OS, you can have one sent to you for a minimal charge.

I'm not 100% sure. I've never bought a Mac that close to an OS release.

I hope by now with the strong aussie dollar it'll be more like $160....
If it's to compare to US pricing....

I got my MBP last week and it came with iLife '08 which is cool,
but it would be nice to get a rebate too for Leopard...
