I just bought a new Mac less than 3 weeks ago, what kind of upgrade policy does Apple have with regards to upgrading 10.3.8 to Tiger?

By the time its out (some weeks away) you'll be blessed with the honour of paying top whack for it.

They are usually only giving free update (+ S&H) to Mac buyers that bought a Mac after they announced the release date.
But wait and see - no one besides Apple knows yet.

Tiger will run on all of those processors. How far back you can go on a G3 will depend on how old your machine is. Panther officially requires a machine which shipped with USB built-in, although it will run on older systems with some fiddling. I do not know if Tiger has the same requirement or not.

Most of what I've seen has said Tiger will officially require a machine with firewire built in.

It's single user. Apple expects you to pay for two licenses. But you can buy a Family pack which includes 5 licenses. In the past, the family pack has cost $199.

That makes sense, as it moves up the requirement one generation. Lombards shipped with SCSI, Pismos with Firewire, etc.
