What's wrong with charging for upgrades? I buy a computer with Mac 9 and some programs, and when I want Mac 10. I buy upgrades.

I hear the big downside is that you have to offer enough improvement over the previous version for your customer to be willing to pay for them. That's just crazy talk!

Is that true? I bet you wouldn’t – or most people wouldn’t. The OS for them is an intangible thing. Your app/software is what gets the blame if it doesn’t work in a new environment. No way average Joe pays again for the same product he bought before, just because he now as Mac 10 now instead of 9.
