"Can you believe it!?!?! I mean, they should be more like apple... service pack every year. And it only costs 130$... er..."You would have a point if Apple charged for the equivalent of a service pack like 10.4.x, except they don't. The releases they charge for have at least the same number of new features as the difference between 2000 and XP or XP and Vista. So, in short, don't open your mouth about things you don't know.
*edited*Maybe it is just a marketing tactic in hopes to confuse people about the release of Sony's ps3, when in fact it's just their 'sp3'.But seriously, when will it end? My guess is we will get into scientific notation service packs.sounds like a Seinfeld joke the second time around or something... kill me

"Examples? What kind of features did they add in the last upgrade that made it worth $130."A lot of the features Vista is including?
