goodcow said:Spending $130 every six to eight months is a joke. Imagine the outlash Microsoft would hear if they charged for all their service packs.
Phoenix said:OSX has not released every "six to eight months" - so the only joke is your sense of time
Anyways I will assume you're not referring to Win95->Win98->WinME which are all service releases of the other.

4 versions in 3.5 years @ $130 each is nothing to brag about.
If those are "service releases", then what the fuck is what Apple is doing with the 4 iterations of OSX in 3.5 years called?
Phoenix said:10.3.1-10.3.5 are service releases - obviously. Service releases don't add new functionality, they update and repair existing functionality. New OS releases add new core functionality and that is what 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 did. 10.1 was free - just had to go and get it from Apple or use the up-to-date coupons that came with 10.0. So in reality there were 3 paid versions over the course of 3.5 years.
Should Apple have just stretched things out over 2 year periods just because Microsoft takes 4-5-10 years to update to Longhorn?
