yet another service pack that apple charges full price for?

Seriously if M$ tried to charge 70 quid for XP service packs 1 through 3 everyone would have an absolute fit, but Apple gets away with it for Tiger and Leopard etc...

Doesn't look to me like Microsoft integrated GPGPU functionalities in Vista, let alone in XP service packs. So just wait for Snow Leopard to ship and then we'll talk.

Ok first off there are rumors that it might cost only $79.99 American dollars. Not the regular $129.99.

Second off is these are service packs. These add way more features and benifits then M$'s service packs. Their service packs are free because the original version should have had the fixes/ speed improvements.

Thirdly 10.4 brought over 200 improvements and 10.5 brought over 300 improvements. Since the original 10.0 apple has added over 1000 improvements. 10.6 is laying a foundation for more improvements in the future.

So many people rely on their computer hardware to do the majority of their work. Thing is their software programs aren't written properly and they could be using all 8 cores and using the 200 plus cores on the graphics card. Snow leopard is here to take advantage of the that.

"Thirdly 10.4 brought over 200 improvements and 10.5 brought over 300 improvements. Since the original 10.0 apple has added over 1000 improvements. 10.6 is laying a foundation for more improvements in the future."

Swap "improvements" for "missing features" and I think you may be closer.

"Hopefully, with Snow Leopard being so similar to Leopard, Apple won't charge the usual £70 fee for it - here's hoping to a half-price upgrade."

Charging anything for such a small update seems ridiculous!
