Got this via Slashdot:
Apple to charge Mac OS X Tiger users for final Boot Camp release?
According to MacScoop, Apple might be charging current Tiger users on the Intel Macs for the final version of Boot Camp. The suspected cost will be $29. Those that purchase Leopard will already have the final version of Boot Camp included.
Any thoughts on this? Personally, I think Apple is trying to milk just a bit too much from we Mac users. Since most people will probably upgrade to Leopard, why not just give it out for free so that those current Intel Mac users can use it freely if need be? Especially after the whole thing with charging Mac users just to enable the 802.11n function that was there already (even if it is only 2 bucks), Apple is starting to rub me the wrong way. Not enough to drop the Mac, but I don't like what I'm seeing so far.
