It's called "residual revenue".
Apple, like any company that is only going to sell you a major product every few years, needs to insure that they can make money on a regular basis. It's the same reason Microsoft updates Office every 2 years and makes just enough changes that if one person in your office gets the new version, everyone has to upgrade...
Seriously though, I've been impressed enough with the last 2 versions to pay retail for them... 10.2 and 10.3 have been pretty major upgrades. I hope 10.4 is as good.
Just my $0.02.

So, with each version release, like 10.1 to 10.2 cost money? why didnt they do like what they did with classic os's and do 8.1 costs, but 8.2-8.4 doesnt, 8.5 does, 8.6-8.9 doesnt? lol i dont under stand that.. so 10.1.1-x is free, but 10.1 to 10.2 isnt. and 10.2 to 10.3 isnt, and 10.3 to 10.4 isnt .. hrmm that sucks.. i guess.. anywho..
