You make a good point about ATM's being consumable products and pointing out the difference in regards to the iApps. I can't argue with your logic on that point. I also have no problem with them charging for GarageBand and the iDVD upgrade.

My complaint lies in that I received free upgrades with the last release of iMovie and iPhoto. I was also under the impression that the products were a part of the OS, not a separate application that was given away for free. You couldn't buy the iApps separately when they were released, they were a part of every Mac. I get free upgrades for Jaguar, why not expect free upgrades for other applications that I was led to believe where a part of Jaguar.

The short point is that if the iApps where sold as a free add-on with the purchase of a Mac then I wouldn't expect free upgrades. They were sold as a part of the Mac and removing functionality in order to charge for it is where my complaint lies.

Are they going to start charging 19.99 for Safari?
