The $20 you save on OS/X over Windows is more than made up by the more expensive hardware.

Windows isn't released as often. So in the end, it's cheaper.

(And Apple doesn't need to make money from their OS, Microsoft does)

Not to mention that this is a major update unlike the minor addons that Apple use to justify an upgrade. I would live very happy with snow leopard, the only reason I upgrade is because Apple force us in order to keep developing on latest iOS devices.

For a man who thinks $40 is too expensive for a good OS, you'll love Linux.

It's $40...that isn't bad at all.

All i saw when I loaded the page was $69.99, which i quickly hit the back button and went to read the comments here.

Whose at fault .. their UI and messaging I say.
