I buy more software now than I ever did; in terms of dollars spent too. I got burned by expensive overrated software a couple of times. Now if it doesn’t live up to the hype and star ratings from dubious reviewers I’m not out that much money. Without that risk I’m a lot more apt to hit the BUY button. I don’t know if there are 4 or 5 times as many puchases going on in general though. I also don’t know where SW development costs are today compared to 5 years ago either (adjusted for then-year dollars).

I’ll also be immideatly upgrading my 10.6 MacMini Server to Lion Server.
Can you tell us why upgrade to Lion Server? Still don’t understand the benefits of doing this.
I’ll be reluctant to upgrade my server.

To me the biggest change is the addition of profile management for iOS devices. That could be a big deal for some users. But beyond that, if you want to keep your existing version until it stops receiving security updates, that’s fine too. If it’s a “mission critical” server I’d probably wait for a few updates just to be on the safe side.
