Re: Snow Leopard from Tiger...?
Call me crazy, but I think ARM is the future of computing. ARM is a much more sensible ISA than x86 or even PPC, and we keep seeing more and more powerful ARM chips come out every year. Meanwhile, everyone is porting everything they can to it. Picture ten years down the road: 2GHz ARM chips with large amounts of instruction-level parallelism, out-of-order execution, etc. It would be a formidable chip and probably blow x86 out of the water clock for clock (and more importantly, performance/price). -- Jarett T.

Re: Snow Leopard from Tiger...?
I'd agree with you except that there is some writing on the wall that makes me think ARM will continue to be an increasing threat. We're now reaching the stage where we blur the line between mobile and laptop/desktop OSes. Android runs on everything these days. Apple ported OS X to run on ARM. We have laptops that run ARM chips. Etc. The next ten years in computing will be very interesting :) -- Jarett T.

You deeply underestimate Intel, I expect. Ten years down the line Intel will have advanced as far, too. EVERYTHING will be much more powerful. Historically, people (including me!) were saying the exact same thing about Intel with the advent of RISC, of the PPC, of AMD, and here we are with Intel on the top of the performance, price and usage pile. Still. AMD has come close, but Intel's move to 45nm really let them move ahead of AMD. Yes, you can get some high performance POWER chips. But IBM doesn't want to make them so you can run a laptop off of them.

Re: Snow Leopard from Tiger...?
It would be a rip-off if only the keycode from the box set worked for upgrading from Tiger. But there are no keycodes, so the $30 single user CD will upgrade from Tiger, and also install on as many Macs as you can get your hands on. Legality is the only issue there. That's not a rip-off, 10.6 is totally worth $30, if only for Quicktime X, and I believe upgrading to Quicktime Pro used to be about the same. ($30) Plus you get speed and performance increases throughout the whole OS. :) By the way, this is a really strange thread... -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Sep 6, 2009, at 9:41 AM, Jonathan Rowson wrote: Why would you categorize it as a ripoff?

Remember, value for money is the key. Don't forget that the Boxed Set is NOT a requirement for upgrading. The Boxed Set is ONLY if you NEED iLife, iWork AND Leopard. Scenario: User has Mac OS 10.4.11 installed on his ICBM. User for whatever reason has never acquired a copy of Mac OS 10.5.x. User does NOT need iLife or iWork. User wants to install Mac OS 10.6 on his ICBM. Apple offers the following: A. Mac OS 10.6 standalone for those who currently have Mac OS 10.5.x; Cost $29.00. B. Boxed Set of Mac OS 10.6 AND iLife AND iWork; Cost $169.00. If the user buys A and installs it on the ICBM, then the user has performed an illegal act according to Apple. If the user buys B and installs Mac OS 10.6 on the ICBM, then the user is legal in Apple's eyes, but had to spend an extra $140 for something the user did NOT need or want. So the user feels ripped off The obvious solution would to have the standalone Mac OS priced at $29 for Mac OS 10.5.x users, $99 for Mac OS 10.4.x users, and then the boxed set for those that wanted iLife/iWork in addition. Our user in this scenario could buy the boxed set and then sell the iLife and iWork for $70 each to get back the $140, or the user can, as has been mentioned, just get the standalone package, install it on the ICBM and tell Apple to kma Fortunately, I DO have Mac OS 10.5.x installed on my PowerBook, so I bought 3 copies of 10.6 at $25.00 each. 1 I'm keeping for future use, (after I get an Intel laptop), and the other 2 are for my sister and brother. -- Sincerely, Dennis B.
