Apple has finally released Mac OS X 10.6.2, the latest version of its Snow Leopard operating system, and be prepared for a massive update for your Mac: 473MB. There's a lot of stuff in here, and among other things, it includes a fix for the guest account data loss bug.

Except... This is a lie.
[...] upgrade if that is not mentioned anywhere on the box?

When I bought my copy of Snow Leopard on the day of release, the Apple employee in the Apple store told me three things -
1) This is an upgrade, you can only use it if you already have Leopard installed
2) This item is licensed only for a single machine
3) This item is non returnable if the seal is broken.
Was that not clear enough? That is a contract by British law.

Oh, and if we look at:

"Upgrade from Mac OS X Leopard with Snow Leopard, a simpler, more powerful, and more refined version of Mac OS X. It delivers a wide range of enhancements, next-generation technologies, out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange Server, and new accessibility features. It's the world's most advanced operating system, finely tuned from installation to shutdown.
Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor."

Did you note the word "upgrade"? Yes?

And Apple's online store is relevant to me how, exactly? I said I bought it from the biggest Apple retailers in The Netherlands - and nor the box, nor the employee, mentions anything about it being an upgrade, or about it requiring Leopard.

Get out your copy of Snow Leopard. Nowhere on the box does it state that it is an upgrade. Heck, it doesn't even list Leopard as a requirement! How am I supposed to know it is an upgrade if that is not mentioned anywhere on the box?
