They should offer 'trade up' on OS, iLife, etc. I'm tired of paying
full retail for minor upgrades.

They did that with the public beta 5 years ago.
A user who wants to try OS X for cheap can get 10.2 for $35 and 10.3
for $49 from OWC. Better deals can likely be had from other retailers,
swap lists, eBay, etc.
As for Apple launching a program for OS X trials versions, I can't see
that that makes financial sense. OS X 10.0 was released 4 years ago,
this month. Marketing to a group that reluctant to change probably
have much potential for ROI. It Apple really wants to crack that
segment, they--and their customers--would be better served with a
'trade-up' discount program for new hardware.

You know Apple should really release a free (cost of shipping) trial
edition of OS X.
