WWDC: Snow Leopard to Cost Just $29

Snow Leopard — Apple’s next major operating system update, which looks friggin’ awesome — will cost just $29 for current Leopard users.

Apple usually charges $130 for major operating system upgrades, but Apple says it wants to encourage everyone to upgrade.

Snow Leopeard will run on all Intel hardware, even the older stuff, and includes a ton of under-the-hood tweaks and improvements. At WWDC, Apple’s top software honcho, Bertrand Serlet, demonstrated how Snow Leopard will double the speed of some tasks while trimming about 6GBytes of disk space.

A family pack will cost $49.
