    I think if Apple plays it right it will be okay, charge existing customers include it for free with new Macs, but this brings back some memories, remember when Stevie cut the clone program and caused Mac OS marketshare to bomb, then he sent his lapdog Avie Tevanian to the Microsoft anti-trust trial to blame microsoft that Mac OS marketshare was so low, Steve Jobs seems good at cutting Apples throat and filling Mac users heads full of bullshit and grandeur, Apple better dump him again before it is too late, I say this tho thank god I use Yellowdog Linux, XMMS will always be free
