Discounts can be found on the interwebs.
Amazon and Macmall offer a 20$ discount, free ship. Not guaranteed to arrive on Friday, although amazon DOES have a tendency to offer books on their release date to arrive ontime.
As for the Leopard OS. one of the nicest new features, is the ability to control, show screen and share screens from local to remote macs. In essense, remote desktop sharing. This has not been a standard EASY feature of the past os's, the underlying technical VNC infrastruture has been there, but apple always charged 179$+ to get the client applications.
Third parties have offered a similar FREE solution for a while now, but it wasn't perfect or optimized for mac to mac os usage.
For the 129$, or 109$ of the upgrade this will be a real benefit for me.
