upgrade but did get additional features:

USB 2.0 in SP1
WiFi WPA in SP2
and SP3 even included some features that were added in Vista although none of them were earth shaking.

In that time, Apple went from 10.1 to 10.6 and charged for each upgrade...

Like I said, I'm not talking about prices, I know Apple releases paying upgrades more often - Guigue Oct 22, 08:23 5
- Two generations of Apple OS are not the same as two generations of Windows. One is from 2005, the other is from 2001 -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 08:25 4
  - You can't have it both ways. You're comparing SPs to Mac OS system upgrades. Then SP2 is from 2004 ans SP3 is from 2008, but neither are upgradable -- nm - Guigue Oct 22, 08:29 3
    - Just saying that you're touting a $30 upgrade from a 2005 system, and I'm just saying I get a $50 upgrade from a 2005 system *and* a $50 upgrade from - oblique Oct 22, 08:31 2
      - And also, it doesn't matter what version of the old system you have. 10.4, 10.5, they work. Not "Home Premium" or "Business" headache - Guigue Oct 22, 08:38
      - I think it's a rethorical question but I'll try to answer it: 30$. The Snow Leopard AFAIK works on everything - Guigue Oct 22, 08:36
