I don't see the problem. If I buy a new Mac *right now*, I can get Snow Leopard for just $9.95 once it's released later this year, rather than the $29 full price for everyone else. Otherwise, I can wait to buy the Mac once it's released and get it for free. It's not complicated and it's not a trick.
It's a different way of doing business than the M$ status quo, with its tiered versions of Windows, all exorbitantly priced. Besides, whether from buying a new computer where it's subsidized by the manufacturer, snagging an OEM version at a computer swap meet, copying from a friend or a bootleg copy online, how many Windows users actually pay full price?
