It's an unfortunate sign of the times, as the article at Cnet/News.com 
pointed out. It also mentions the possible backlash a la Jaguar.
I understand where you're coming from, but you will no doubt be duly 
reminded that Apple has a bottom line, nothing's for "free" anymore 
(Although it never really was ; the cost was built in. Sorta like 0% 
financing on cars?)
I'm just hoping that an inducement to get folks to keep or join .Mac 
will be updates included with membership. That would be smart.
