Alex, apologies for the cynicism, but they could have gotten a 
developer's preview version of Mavericks before it was released.  I have 
two commercial programs installed here that did just that, so they could 
have their software ready for the Mavericks release.

I doubt money would have been an issue, anyone upgrading to Mavericks 
gets the new OS for free.
