I wonder why they overprice everything else while this one is free?

Is this a sign that Apple might start becoming less greedy? Nah, lets not get our hopes up.

Only reason it's free is because it only runs on their hardware so they have nothing to worry about. Windows on the other hand, can be installed on anything so it makes sense for Microsoft to charge for a Windows OEM license.

I quite disagree w people saying apple product is overprice, it is valid if we are in year before 2007. However If you compare spec to spec , meaning you compare the apple with premium notebook from Dell or Lenovo or HP you will notice they are actually have the same price.

To certain extent i am questioning why Dell charging more than Apple

Well you can't really knock them for OS X upgrades, always been pretty good value, and you don't say that about Apple everyday!

Not trying to be rude, but in the last paragraph i *think* you made a typographical error.
The article reads, "Whether you're going from Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, you can update to Mountain Lion for free starting today."
I think you meant to say, "Whether you're going from Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, you can update to MAVERICK for free starting today."

correct me if i'm wrong, sorry if i am. Just caught my eye.

Wow, for FREEEEEEEEE!?!?!?!-Bed Time Stories. But seriously thats great for Apple users. I do believe apple is becoming much more competitive.

So Apple is trailing Microsoft in free OS upgrades.
Wonder if Apple might some day put tiles on their start screens like MS did with Win8?! 😀

So basically Apple "innovated" by finally adding some features that have been offered by Google and Linux for years...

And the upgrade adds quite a bit of capability compared to Windows 8. MS needs to take a lesson here and stop releasing crap people don't want.

Hopefully they pull it off way better than Windows 8.1. That OS is a nightmare.
