Probably not. The original update was free in the sense of "If you ask
in an
Apple Store, they'll give you the CD." The free upgrade program was
only for
a limited time, however. Once it ended, you had to buy 10.1 in the
box, just
like every other version.
Hmmm ... you're knocking some cobwebs off my memory. I am
now recollecting something about "media charges" for the
"free" updater (about $20 IIRC) when ordered from Apple,
but a limited number of CDs were shipped to Apple Stores
and resellers, and given away without charge. I also seem
to recall that Apple was encouraging people to share these
CDs. Once the updater CDs were gone, the only option was
the full boxed edition. The updater was never available
online due to bandwidth costs (it was a massive updater).
