Snow Leopard by Rene Rivers

While Apple is currently testing and pushing out preview releases of OS X Mountain Lion to developers, There are still many Leopard-running individuals out there who have yet to upgrade to the latest version of OS X. Due to this, Apple is encouraging remaining customers of MobileMe to upgrade to Lion and iCloud with a free copy of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard for those still running 10.5 Leopard.

Customers who are in this situation and would like to receive a free copy of Snow Leopard can follow this link to start the process. After signing in, fill out mailing information to receive a installation DVD.

Snow Leopard currently retails at $29, which can discourage customers since Snow Leopard is mostly seen as a small under the hood upgrade. Those who take advantage of this program will still have to upgrade to Lion for $29.99.

The free Snow Leopard upgrade program expires on June 15. MobileMe shuts down a few weeks after on June 30.
