Just wondering.. coming from a Windows world normally only major releases require a new purchase .. like Windows 95 - 98 - 2000 and so on ... same with applications like 8.x 9.x etc.
Regarding Mac OS X : Do you have to buy 10.5 when you already have 10.4.8 or do you simply online upgrade ? Version number wise it doesn't look like a major release although reading through the Leopard documentation it seems it is .....

You will have to buy.
In recent history, Apple has charged for large-point upgrades (10.1, .2, .3, .4), and will charge for .5 as well. Expect the price to be approximately US$130, if history is any indication.
