Why do some people right UNIX like this: *NIX?

In standard unix distributions, the * is a universal character that means it can hold any value. I.e. you could search for every file ending in "th", by typing

find *th

So *NIX stands for the various flavours of UNIX.

LINUX (and all of the distributions associated withit)
UNIX
HPUX
SOLARIS
OS X
BSD
................
and the list goes on.

for instance, the last upgrade prices was $130, which is a little steep for an upgrade cost, if you ask me, but consider, with the already released jagwire , I wouldn't have to upgrade until another groundbreaking update is released... even so, I think Apple could find it in it's great big heart to give a little discount to a corporate switcher...

Thanks you are correct about the OS X Server. Though Apple did offer an upgrade route for multiple users. The family pack allowed 5 Licenses for $200. Also how much does it cost to upgrade a Windows computer? The cost of a new windows upgrade is around $150 isn't it? Then you need several computer techs working around the clock to get it installed and functioning.
