Will OS X 10.6 be a free upgrade?

Current forecast: 36% chance
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 36% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)

Normally point releases of Apple's OS (10.3,10.4, etc) costs money–usually around $130–but since this version (10.6) "will not focus on major new features, rather on improving performance, efficiency and reducing its overall footprint" will it be like 10.1 and be a free upgrade for Leopard users?

No way this'll be a free upgrade as it is the next major Operating System Release coming from Apple and it'll be called Snow Leopard, and per Apple's reputation, it'll likely retail for $129.00 for a single license :-D

i agree, although there are no new features they MUST charge for it or it will defeat the purpose of the exersize.. we have all the features we want with current technology.. just give us more security/stability/speed

I'll be buying it definatley
