What do people think about Apple's policy (as I believe it is) of only allowing you to get OS X updates (e.g. 10.2.4) via Apple.
As a modem user at home it's no fun downloading them over the 'net. Luckily we have a stupidly quick connection at work so I just take my iBook in every now and again to get up to date.
It must delay adoption however and surely they want as many people as possible on the latest versions / patches.
What valid reason is stopping them allowing the Mac magazines to have the updates on the cover CDs?
Other than they lose some tracking information - I don't see any goodreasons (and they could always require a quick and small connection to Apple over the 'net as part of the update process?).
What gives....?
