Actually Windows 8 upgrade will cost $15.
Thats only for those who buy a PC from now until Windows 8 arrives. Apple gives the upgrade for free for those buying a Mac until Mountain Lion arrives.

Is there nothing that Apple users won't whine about? $30 friggin' dollars.![]()
These would make a nice addition to the few already existing prefixes.Probably not.
We should start offering pre-fixes to threads and choices should included "Entitlement", "Absurd", and "Unable to Make Personal Decisions" to name a few.

I feel like users who paid to upgrade to Lion are getting ripped off. I upgraded to Lion because I am a huge apple supporter and loved the idea of a new OS for $30. Now with the release of Mountain Lion just a short year later, I'm regretting my decision of purchasing OS Lion. Now if I want to get 10.8 I will have to pay $50 while those who didn't upgrade only pay $20. I at least expected there to be a discount for Lion users. Any other Lion users regretting the upgrade?

You have had a whole year of value for your $30. You also got value out of your self-perception as a "huge Apple supporter".
You also should research the idea of "sunk costs". You are actually only paying $20 for Mountain Lion.
They released Lion saying its better than SL . . .how it turned out?
For that we paid $30 .Fine. Now its time we should get a good update. All this things that they are giving in ML is nothing but tiny increments in the same Lion code. Why would somebody be willing to pay as upgrade no matter how cheap it is when it could've been an update.One year in software development is not a very long duration...
+1You know what's awesome though, you can choose not to upgrade. All of us will enjoy the ML features that we are willing to pay for while you stay with Lion and not use the features that you obviously don't see value in. Everyone wins![]()
I just wish I knew last year how pointless it was to buy Lion for $30 when they would drop basically an updated version this summer $10 cheaper.
I just ate these mini chipotle cheddar cheese potato bites from Trader Joe's and I'm still hungry. I feel ripped off, they said they were filling.
You guys are such complainers it isn't even funny.
And some of you guys just keep throwing throwing your money at Apple no questions asked. The OP has a legitimate point. Will that extra cash break the bank? Of course not but it's still money.

I'm not arguing that $20 isn't a great deal because it is. I just wish I knew last year how pointless it was to buy Lion for $30 when they would drop basically an updated version this summer $10 cheaper. I would have kept snow leopard and waited for this. You would think those with OSX Lion would get a $10 upgrade or something. I think the majority of users didn't upgrade to Lion and its benefitting them now. I guess the logical thing would be to just wait until next summers update.

$20 sure as hell beats $200+ from Windows. Plus, its as simple as downloading it from the App Store and installing it. So, besides it being ridiculously cheap, its also easier than Windows. I say, bring it on!
EDIT: plus, you don't need to buy it. Stick with Lion. Its decent.
