Unlimited client price is $499, 10-client $299. It's not available as a free upgrade, but you can get a discounted price if you purchased the previous version today or later."

I love my Mac, so I'd MUCH rather have those ten years of Mac Operating Systems than Windows (yes, even System 7.5!) but that doesn't change the fact that it IS more expensive to keep a Mac up-to-date.
On the other hand, I do have Apple to thank that it's much easier to pirate their operating system. With Windows I have to work around that activation garbage so I just broke down and bought it. With MacOS X 10.3 I just burned a copy of my friend's CDs and installed with those. Worked perfectly. Thanks Apple!
