[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1288999, member: 24160"] I agree with your sentiments about the requirements of a certain previous OS and have already stated so in another thread. However, there is a big difference in the price of any MS OS software and the price of OS X. With the price of OS X for the last couple of editions, you could purchase 3 of them for the same price as an OEM MS copy and 6-10 of them for the price of a single MS retail copy. And with Lion being available for install to every single C2D Mac you own that is running 10.6 for one $30 price, I really don't think bringing up the $100 per computer upgrade pricing of windows is a very good argument. A person with 5 Macs - $30. A person with 5 Windows machines - $500. That's a big, big, big difference. [/QUOTE]
