maybe the days of mac os x itself coming via download are nigh, you could buy it and burn it, or install the disk image from an external drive which might be important for mba users, or sell it on a thumb drive for mba users

im going to take a good look
im going to take a good look at Windows 7 before i buy my next computer. i totally get why my macbook offers a better user experience than XP or Vista (gag!) but im tired of calling add ons 'upgrades'.
1,3Gb is too big. i cant believe Jobs is allowing this! it isnt the same Apple Jobs used to micromanage!
You do realize that these
You do realize that these "upgrades" are new builds of a beta operating system, right? They are going to be large due to the amount of bugs and issues involved in developing an operating system. I myself find these updates refreshing. Most developer builds of operating systems - namely xp and vista - require the user to manually download each build and reinstall it over the previous. With Snow Leopard I can click a button and relax!
Um...
Why are you whining about a 1.13GB upgrade and allowing yourself to switch back to Windows - for something that is not even meant for general consumption! This is a DEVELOPER update. This is to help them TEST the new OS. This is not for the General Public at all - so 99% of Mac users aren't gonna install/care.
I don't understand how a large push of a developer-only update to a BETA OS is going to make you switch to Windows 7?
Also, how big were each of the Windows 7 Beta build downloads? 2.5GBish? How were those not "upgrades".
