My upgrade to Mountail lion cost me under £20 for two computers.
You tell em how much it would cost you to go from say Vista to W7 or from W7 to W8 for two computers ?

I see $39.99 for a Windows-8 upgrade in the USA:

That's from Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, or the beta
"Release Preview" of Windows-8. There would be little point in a
Windows-7 upgrade once Windows-8 is released. I've been using Windows-8
and find it rather pleasant.

The Apple update to the latest OS X is $19.99 for every computer in your household, although I did here there's a limit of 10 .
I got the previous update from Aple for FREE $0.00 (got a DVD in the post no P&P/shipping) took my mini and iMac from Leopard to snow leopard.

Haven;t yet met anyone running windows 8

I'm runnignW7 at work at it;'s better than XP, some nice features but some less nice ones too.

I believe that's a per-PC price - good value for Vista and XP upgrades
(getting them up to the Windows-7 level), but I'm not sure I would
recommend it for anyone already happy with Windows-7, unless they have a
touch-screen PC.

Windows-8 in preview form has been available for anyone to download
since March this year, so I would be surprised in someone within your
establishment hasn't been running it for a while.

I still wonder why anybody would actually want to install OSX on
non-Apple hardware.

Because they have a specific OS-X only app that they want to run.

It's not a trivial task to install OS-X on non-Apple hardware. During
the netbook craze it was easier, but the netbooks were so underpowered
that OS-X ran poorly.

With the release of Windows 7, there was much less of a reason to try to
run OS-X.
