AWESOME Jaguar pricing (new Apple trick?)

[hulkaros]

This is a quote:
"Oh, and one other thing: In stark contrast to Microsoft's practice with Windows, Apple is introducing family pricing for Jaguar. The company will sell for $199 a family version that can be legally installed on up to five computers."

Now, isn't this AWESOME? You buy Jaguar for what? $40? Nice trick Apple! Now, what about SOHOs and/or business in general? Could you make a similar trick?

Apart from the fact that this isn't visible on any apple.com page, it's a great idea. They _should_ make a SO package. Something along the line of 399$ for a small office (up to 10 users).

Although, too many different Mac OS X packages might disturb customers. There's already the "you're set for 2 years"-package or something like that, which is cool for small businesses.

They used to sell 10-packs all the time for OS upgrades, I know I used to buy them for my company.
