Walk it like you talk it, Stevie. Sell a version of Leopard for a premium that will install on any PC hardware.BTW, doesn't playing non-DRM content on an iPod use less battery power? If so, why isn't this being heralded as yet another way to save the planet from the evils of global warming?
I find it funny the RIAA says no DRM hurts sales and increases theft, but the companies that actually sell mp3s say they will sell more mp3s if there was no DRM.
So when a user realizes that they can pay the 30 cent upgrade fee for the un-drmed track. Apple isn't going to charge them another $1.29 for the same track.And double the quality is a gimmick? It's near-cd quality.
Stilson - if you think you'll hear your music with double the clarity and fidelity then you are a dafter fanboy **** than I gave you credit for. And the 30% premium is for something you once enjoyed for free with CD's and vinyl.No rip-off there then...

Nice use of reply... but if you noticed, those aren't released today, they're preorders. If you wait until they come out, they'll be $9.99 too.
