So, If I get a computer this weekend, how likely do you people think it will be that I will have to pay to upgrade to Panther?

99.999% likely.

Unless they tell you it's going to be free, don't count on it.

Wasn't it the case that you got the next OS free with new purchases if it had already been announced? I could be totally wrong though.

I think Apple has to announce the shipping date for that to happen.

Correct. The free upgrade only happens once Apple has announced an official release date. That hasn't happened yet.
