Yes, particularly if you bought the previous version on its own or with a new machine only a few months before. Having beta tested OSX for Apple, i.e. bought 10.0 and the 'free' 10.1 upgrade, I was pretty miffed at being asked to pay the full whack for Jaguar. In the end I waited about 9 months until I needed to buy a new machine. Ditto Panther. I must be mellowing now though - with the time between releases increasing the full purchase price doesn't seem so bad. I'm also pretty good at resisting upgrades unless there's something really worthwhile, i.e. I've stopped being an upgrade junkie and beta tester. What does bug me is when I'm pressurized to upgrade the OS for no good reason other than the apparent refusal of a software developer to make their software compatible with an older OS that was itself new less than a year previously. Case in point - evaluating an email client for 10.1 only to find that the new version required 10.2 because of the latter's enhanced address book. Big deal.
