    Will I get a copy of leopard when it is released if I join ADC(student) now?

    Or should I wait till leopard is launched then sign up for ADC at US$99 to get leopard?

    The way I understood it, you'll be given the latest beta right away, and when Leopard hits, you'll be given supplemental software that will effectively upgrade your beta into the full version.

    Keep in mind that if you're a student (or qualify otherwise) Leopard will only cost US$69 through the Apple Store for Education.

    Students will not get pre-release software. In the past there are people who say they got Tiger after it was released, but it is not one of the stated inclusions for a student ADC account. Even if you do get it, it won't be until a few weeks after it was released, and like the other poster said, it is only $69 for students anyway.
