During the WWDC keynote address, Apple announced both the release date and pricing scheme for the new version of OS X, Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will be priced at $29 for a single license, or $49 for a five license pack and will be shipped in September. The low pricing is attributed to the fact that Snow Leopard is considered an upgrade to Leopard, and will include improvements to several programs along with a new version of Quicktime. Snow Leopard was also written to take better advantage of 64-bit CPUs, which seem to be the standard these days. Users can also upgrade to the newest versions of iLife and iWork by taking advantage of a package deal for $169 or $229 for the five pack.
