what about tens of millions of Americans that live in relatively rural areas without major retail stores around?
the closest store to me that sells apple products is about 90 miles away. a 180 mile drive roundtrip versus a free download? guess what i would pick? apple chose not to make the dl available free to save money to preserve shrinking profits.
right now anyone can go to ms site and download the full beta of windows xp 64 bit edition free. Free.
i can dl dozens of linux distros free.
apple did not provide me with a free 10.l upgrade. I had to pay 19.99 to order a cd to avoid a 180 mile drive.
Quit quibbling and dont buy all the marketing smoke and mirrors.
what if you live in Burundi Northern Finland?
