Safari? They updated that, and Panther was /just/ released. Wait and see what happens in the next x months before making the "no updates until the next $130" conclusion. No offense to anyone here, but if it takes four months before you see an update, that's STILL faster than Camino. Nightlies don't count, 'cause most end-users are weary of possibly unstable beta/development releases, and will just use what's posted as "current".
Yes, dissonance is good. If everybody were back-patting each other, the list would be useless. Totally agree.
Back to forcing the $130 thing on me.
You aren't being charged $130 for minor point releases. You know that, of course. .x releases for OS X are heavy releases, not just bug fixes (though they do a lot of that, too). But what you're missing is that while Safari might be updated to the point of not working in 10.2 after x months, I'm pretty sure Apple realizes that /this is why we have third-party developers./ To fill these gaps. Whether it's intentional or not, this kind of stuff spurs and provides encouragement for third-party applications. Ten bucks says that SOMEWHERE in Apple, someone knows this.
And even if not, it's a perfect opportunity to capitalize on a gap in the UNFALLABLE Apple. (Emphasis for sarcastic effect. It's a company, not a deity.) No one forces you to buy the next huge OS X release, so stop whining about it. Don't like it? Not worth it? Don't. Freaking. Buy it.
I got a whole lot more than a browser and some bug fixes when I installed Panther. It's worth it to some, not worth it to some. At least you don't have to wait five years between significant OS releases (cough, Windows, cough).
/counter-editorial
Whining? Sorry, but taking exception to a policy, politely explaining why to me isn't whining. On the other hand, accusing someone of whining sure sounds like a personal insult. It turns a "discussion" into a penis-size contest to see who can sling the cleverest insult. Which is exactly the point I was trying to make.
Do you REALLY think that they will release 1.1 safari for 10.2.X in 3 months time? I'd be the first to say you're correct if they did; unfortunately, I don't think you're correct. Please take note I'm not saying you are an "a**hole RDF dupe" for believing what you believe.
