If you're too busy to read the whole article or watch the keynote, also note that you can upgrade directly from Snow Leopard or later. They listed the hardware models which will take it as well– the 2007 Mac Minis and MacBook Pros are supposedly good to go.
So where can I go to download an ISO? I'd like to burn a bootable DVD, and load it up as a non-networked offline install. Is such a thing even possible?

No luck for us 1st gen 2006 macbook users!
A boot to the face of Microsoft.
Microsoft sells software, Apple sells hardware with matching software. But make no mistake, they are a hardware company - OSX won't even run without a chip confirming its an authentic Mac. The idea that they would charge for these smaller OSX updates is bizarre, and the price point has been in the "we need this for accounting" range in the past.

You mean EFI? Because Macs don't have any special hardware inside, and especially not any "authentic Mac" chips.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
OsX is not free, you still need to buy a Mac. As for MSFT , they are a software company,not sure what they can do about Windows price ,which will never be free. Want free stuff? use Linux.
Since when have you had to have a Mac to run OSX?

Apple is all about that planned obsolescence, right!
Since you're being credulous, I'll bite: Just because it's "free" and you can update systems that are on Snow Leopard, doesn't mean it'll update all systems on Snow Leopard. For those paying attention, Apple killed off quite a bit of hardware with 10.8. Those certainly aren't upgradable to Mavericks.
