Understandably many of this latest version is really under the hood, but doesn’t this commercial upgrade then fall into the category of a service pack that I shelled out money to buy?

A coworker of mine made that comment, and honestly I must agree. For all Apple’s hoopla about Snow Leopard, it really is the equivalent of Vista SP1 or XP SP2. The only difference here is Apple is the only company in the world that can get away with charging for what Microsoft gives away for free!

I’ll probably get flamed for even saying such a blasphemous thing, but that’s how I see it.
