What version were you on before you upgraded? I think the smaller point versions (bug fixes, bascially) are free. It's the jump from 2.0 to 2.1 or 2.2 that's the $10.
Incorrect. Anyone that wanted 2.0 when it was available had to pay for it. Then, when 2.1 came out, you could no longer get 2.0 and instead if you wanted to upgrade from 1.1.x you had to buy 2.1. It's not as if iTunes gives you the option to pick between getting 2.0, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.2 or 2.2.1; if you're upgrading from 1.1.x, then it will only ever give you the option to upgrade to the LATEST version (in this case, 2.2.1). 2.x IS the upgrade, so if you were coming from 1.1.x software you were expected to pay. And no one was ever charged to go from 2.0 to a newer 2.x software, so I have no idea where you got that from. Your post makes absolutely no sense.
So, to clarify, it's the jump from 1.1.x to ANY 2.x software that is (or maybe was) $10.

too received the update notice.
Update: Apparently, I am beyond the times. This was released in January... How did I miss that?!?! Shows you how often I connect my ipod to my desktop.
Yup, 2.2.1 was released in January 09, 2.0 was released in July 08.

I was still back on 1.* (Whatever was the last version before the 2.0 software). It definitely used to ask me to pay, but this time I plugged up and it upgraded it by itself.
The last version of 1.1.x was 1.1.5, which I believe was released just
after 2.0, to offer some bug fixes to people that didn't upgrade.
