"part" ? Apple is charging less for Lion and Mountain lion than MS did for DOS thirty years ago. Apple is a hardware company, and writes the software to make their hardware useful. They were criticized for this unwise model that would drive them to bankruptcy while MS took over the world over their unwillingness to release it for standard PC hardware . . . Anyway, Apple isn't so much charging for the OS as it is collecting something to cover the tech support calls for its installation. -- The Hawkins Law Firm Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
