Except: OS 10.1(.x) remains (to my mind) a sluggish, incomplete and not-quite-ready-for-prime-time system, and those of us who adopted it early deserve *some* price break for suffering through its early inadequacies, I think.
Certainly would be appropriate (and not just kindhearted) for Apple to provide updates at a discount for those with proofs of previous OS X purchase. I haven't given up hope that such a concession could be forthcoming. Has anyone seen a definitive statement that it won't?
