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

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

Why would you categorize it as a ripoff? It's a ripoff if the product being sold is totally overpriced for what you get, NOT if it's not what you want. 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,

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,

Yup, that about sums it up. Apple figures that if you never bought Leopard, then you never paid the $130 for it, and therefore should buy the way more expensive Box set Snow Leopard. It'll upgrade Tiger anyways, though, so I don't know how they're going to enforce this... -Elliott
