With Apple, you must PURCHASE your updates, each and every time.

That statement is wrong and just plain ignorant. Apple only charges for major updates. The majority of updates are free.

I stated "With Apple, you must PURCHASE your updates, each and every time. "

You stated " That statement is wrong and just plain ignorant. Apple only charges for major updates. The majority of updates are free."

So, simple question.... Are you charged for Updates, or not? It's fairly straightforward. You either pay for your updates, or you don't. How can I be ignorant, or as someone else charged 'a liar' if what I allege is true? Microsoft does not charge for any updates whatsoever. No charges for Service Packs, No charges for additional functionality, and no charges on the minor stuff.
