There seems to be a trend developing whereby Mac owners have to pay for updates. I think Logic 7.1 and 7.2 both required a fee. Now Live 5.2 as well... 
Intel-Mac users: Intel-Mac users can purchase a new Live 5.2 serial number for 49 USD/39 EUR via the Ableton webshop.
At least Ableton offer a way to get it back...
This 49 USD/39 EUR will be fully refunded to customers who buy the upgrade to Live 6, which is scheduled for release in Q3. Complete information on Live 6's specs, availability, and pricing will be made available this summer.
This is good to see as well....
Accommodation for recent buyers of Live 5: Users who purchased Live 5 after Steve Jobs' announcement of the new Intel-Macs (January 10, 2006) will receive the Intel-Mac Live 5.2 download at no additional charge.
Thankfully they are not charging PC users...
Non Intel-Mac users: For Live 5 users on PCs and non Intel-Mac machines, Live 5.2 is also available as a free bug-fix update.

I think it's only fair that developers try to recoup some of the expense of all the extra work they've had to do to support the Mac platform over the last several years. Os 9 - > X, VST -> Au, now PPC to intel. I'd be pretty annoyed if I'd been on this ride.
I suspect one of the reasons we've seen relatively few new products so far this year is that everybody's heads down trying to get universal binaries working.
