Robin, I've heard this rant so many times in the past few days that it must be a PR disaster for Apple, but I simply don't see the problem. In my case, I walked into an Apple Store and walked out with a free update package, upgrading me both to 9.2.1 and 10.1. I then downloaded the *free* development tools and updated those too. I didn't spend a dime. Why can't you do that too? You don't need to have an Apple Store nearby, plenty of other retailers are offering the free upgrade package too.
As for the notion of an "incomplete" operating system that I hear so often, I don't know what the cutoff point is. If they add something in 10.1 that wasn't there in 10.0, isn't that a /good/ thing? In the end, you just have to decide whether you're willing to pay a hundred bucks to have whatever version of OS X is available, and it doesn't make any sense to think the vendor owes you any more or less.
