With this in mind, how can Apple justify charging £99 foir a service pack every 12 months?
I'm not Microsoft's biggest fan, by a long way -- I'm typing this on a Linux box -- but even they don't seem as money-grabbing as Apple.

I'm afraid there's no counter argument to that, except the upgrades are a little more significant than a service pack.
