The reason the flash drive copy of Lion is $69.99, is to push people to use the Mac App Store. Once people know how easy the Mac app store is to use, they might start buying apps from it, and therefore Apple earns more money! Clever, hey? - Luke, Comment from the Wall Street Journal
Hey, just a damn minute. I remember when OS X updates were $129.00 so keep your shirts on, $69 is cheap. lkrupp, Comment from the Apple Insider
$69 covers the $29 for Lion, the $29 for Snow Leopard and $9 for the actual drive. This is intended for those that never updated to Snow Leopard and would be in trouble because Apple’s SOP is to yank the old OS disks when the new one is out (just like they do with older application software). So by August (which is really just in two weeks) they will have sold out of all the Snow Leopard that is around if it’s not gone already. Since the intended audience never bought Snow Leopard they want that licensing money. – charlituna, Comment from the Apple Insider
Oh for crying out loud – it’s a way to cover costs for a minor amount of users. If you’re in the minority, you should expect to pay more – costs are higher for lower volume purchases, especially for low volume purchases that have the overhead of physical goods that have all the related logical requirements. All this “discourage” nonsense is just that – pure nonsense. DocNo42 Comment from the Apple Insider
