I'm happy with £80. I think it's a fair price, considering the function of the OS.
And there's no point in comparing Mac and Windows OS prices, Dustin, since the Windows OS price isn't subsidised.. unlike the ludicrous Mac hardware prices.
How is it subsidised? I already have the hardware, and I pay 30$ to upgrade to a new OS... It's not like I'm going to buy a phone for 0$ (with 3 year contract at minimum of 50$ a month). I have the computer already, and I pay for the operating system.
No one cares about your stupid mac. This thread is about windows not mac. Since windows doesn't need special hardware to run it. But mac needs a £1250 computer
Apparently he thinks the superior Safari browser cannot view youtube links, so he tried to make it easier for it to browse. Too bad Safari, being superior, works perfectly.
Oh well, maybe it will help those paltry Firefox and IE users.
Um. It's called a short URL. SAME SHIT. works exactly the same in every browser. Stop being a fan boy and start being a power user.
honestly, MAC fan boys can just sit on it and rotate. I'm not against macs, actualy, I like them. But this thread is about windows 7 prices and has nothing to do with mac os prices. Besides, $30 for an OS upgrade? Sounds sketchy to me, I wonder how much the poor bastards that worked on that actualy got payed.
The difference is that Apple haven't included copy-paste yet
No, who really cares. I don't think Microsoft will see too many customers leave for Mac because of their pricing. Whilst I quite like aspects of Mac OSs I could never own one instead of a main Windows machine.
considering how much of a f#$% up vista was, they should sell this a bit cheaper after so many people bought vista and were dissapointed with it. This is the first windows i would consider buying since it seems to work so well so far, but at that price i dont think so.
You do understand the irony of heralding Apple's pricing policies when they've been relentlessly ripping off their customers for years.
Hey everyone, buy our iPhone at a massive premium with loads of missing features. Now buy the new one with some of the bits we should have included in the first!
Except your point is moot as all the features with the "New iPhone" you can use on the original iPhone, except where it's hardware limited... so "OMG NO DIGITAL COMPASS!".
I vote we ban dawesdust_12 from writing in any thread which involves mac, windows, apple, software, hardware, computers, laptops, browsers, phones and ipods.
The iPod Touch ones are but only because of different licencing agreements. The iPod Touch ones can't be free as there's some sort of laws (to my understanding) that prohibits Apple from releasing free updates to the iPods (and the iMac's if you remember the Wireless-N upgrade) without killing the Applecare warranty. The iPhone ones can be released for free as the iPhone has a "subscription based" licencing agreement to the software (due to the AT&T or other carrier agreements).
So you expect Apple to be able to build a digital compass in software, when it needs hardware to do it. That makes perfect sense.
