    Good move Apple!

    Double the price for non-OS X and if you do move to X then you get extra licences - wow! going for the jugular eh!

    Good for Apple, they've cornered a market and are going at it hammer-and-tongs.

    The other way around

    Actually, if I'm correct about the original pricing scheme (and I'm not sure), they've left the price the same for non-Mac OSes, and halved the price for X. Gooooo, Apple! They've now officially moved Shake into the midrange pricerange if you've got a Mac.

    If that's the case it is truly a great move.
    It is much cheaper to buy a mac and an os X license than buy a license for a PC. Simple, smart.

    Yeah the discount is so that you can afford a Mac, which of course, has a whopping 1ghz speed limit and state of the art SDRAM to boot! GO APPLE!

    megahertz myth?

    Tech specs say it requires an 800MHz G4, but only a 550MHZ P3 or P4.

    I thought the "megahertz myth" was supposed to work the OTHER way. :) By that rationale, Apple is sort of admitting that a 550MHz P3 is the equivalent of a G4/800. So does that mean a 2.5GHz P4 is equivalent to a 4+GHz G4?

    This won't translate wel

    I mean, talk about PRICE GOUGING. Hope I spelled that right. Bad press from the PC side of the fence is inevitable. Consider how much we b**** for paying $100 more for OFFICE, and here they're piling of four grand...
