   Well, it's still there, it's no Apple Store, but it's a form of profit. I think   
   it's a good idea to release the OS for free since at this point most new   
   features of OSs aren't really that revolutionary. I mean how many times can you   
   re-invent the wheel? $100 saved is $100 of extra pc hardware.
