"Well holy fuck, Roger. Apple actually gives a shit..."
Roger's unenthusiasm for the Jaguar schedule means only that he thinks the majority of customers who have upgraded to OS X have done so too recently to want to pay for another upgrade so soon, not that he thinks Apple should delay the release of Jaguar. From a financial point of view, he's correct. Since 10.1 was the first mainstream 10.x release and therefore when normal people started upgrading, it is too soon to charge for an upgrade given the time between 10.1 and Jaguar.
On the other hand, Roger is one cold-hearted analyst.
I hope Apple gives Jaguar free to a lot of recent upgraders and only charges those of us who've been using 10.x for a while.
