Apple is pulling out its big guns this year. The thing in particular I’m referring to started at the WWDC keynote and will conclude in September of this year. I am talking about OS X Snow Leopard. Apple decided to price this OS at $29. While it’s really just an upgrade (albeit a major one, complete with lots of doo-dads) to Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, Snow Leopard’s pricing scheme allows it to easily penetrate Microsoft’s OS market share. Think about it: Would you pay $29 or $199 for an OS? Sure, Snow Leopard is tied to Apple hardware, but it’ll drive even more people to go out and purchase used equipment, essentially setting the tone for a Mac revolution.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m insane. Maybe I just think this is a great move on Apple’s part. Either way, come September and the release of Snow Leopard, Apple will shock the markets once again.
