Umm, don't you pay to upgrade OS X versions?

    Mac OS X: Updating your software
      Reference releases; update vs. upgrade
    Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 themselves are not downloadable 
    updates, they are reference releases, also called upgrades. This 
    means, for example, you can't upgrade from Mac OS X 10.3 to Mac OS X 
    10.5 via a downloadable installer. Reference releases are available 
    from the Apple Store online, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple 
    Authorized Distributors (AAD).

    Software update, upgrade--what's the difference?
