Once you fill your HD with Vault, what do you do? Buy another Hard Drive?? Why can't I make a series of DVDs to store my archives? Why cant a Vault be sent directly to DVDs. The biggest why is, WHY does this only seem to be a problem for me ??? How do other people deal with this ?? Well, I saw Aperture and was impressed, so I went out and spent the $499.00

It costs about $2000 a year and targets developers. Its those same developers that are getting in trouble for leaking info or posting beta versions of OS X on bittorrent and and other P2P servers. They also have the darwin project for opensource beta testing alsos targeting developers. You don't get to ride the bleeding edge unless you pay for it. Either financially or otherwise. I have had a few seed releases of OS X in the past, and while you get to use it first you also have to contend with the bugs, and report them properly to help make sure a solid product is released. The best way to avoid this kind of issue. Wait at least a month after an upgrade release of any product, before adding it to your library, and even longer on the initial release of any new product.

The cost is already built into the OS. yes, with apps that come with os x, it makes sense to public beta them. The cost is already built into the OS.
