The G4 mac I bought in November of '99 came with 8.6 installed. If I had to pay for 9.1 to have X, I would not have purchased X. I agree that including 9.1 with X is not the number one selling point, but since only 9.1 will work to run classic inside of X it is nice that I only had to pay for the current upgrade, not the one I decided to skip.
Also, get the price straight. You can pay $129 if you want too, but it is readily available for $99. Nobody with sense pays MSRP for anything.
