Yes, there's that. But it is also because Apple has always charged ~$30 for Snow Leopard. Why? Who knows? In any case, the asking price is not going to be (much) more than what Apple is selling it for. (I believe Apple is still selling SL. After all, how else can someone upgrade to Lion if they have Leopard? They have to first install SL and update it so they can then use the app store to then install Lion, no?) It seems to me that Apple was more concerned with promoting the adoption of Snow Leopard ... and now Lion ... then they were with generating revenue per se from the release. Why is Apple giving an extra monetary incentive to encourage people to adopt its latest versions of OS X?
