[QUOTE="PaladinGuy, post: 572734, member: 20193"] My problem with this development is two-fold: 1. Apple has built a reputation for giving free updates, not free OSs. I have no problem paying to get Leopard, don't get me wrong. However, if I now have to pay for this, I have to wonder if I will turn on my computer tomorrow and have to pay for the security update like McCafee. 2. The timing of this is impecable. I do not believe it is a coincidence that Apple decided to do this directly after the Christmas holidays, when they knew there would be lots of buyers. To release something like this, and then charge for it is dirty tactics. I did not have to pay to upgrade my calendar application because they knew the update should have been included to begin with. This is nothing other than Apple trying to make a cheap buck. I have been thinking about getting an iPhone, too, but if this is how it is going to be in the future, I may reconsider. Lastly, if these programs really took extra money to include, why did they not increase the price of the iPod? Apprently they did factor in these programs, just as they did with the iPhone. [/QUOTE]
