As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

Get over it, Development cost money(period). An inital $100 and then $50 a year is way better than paying $200 for Windows XP Home or $300 for Windows XP Pro.
Except that few people (if any) actually pay that price. 95% of the time, you get Windows either a) With a new computer or b) as an upgrade.
So, you would end up paying about $100/$200 for Home/Pro respectively:
Lindows (3 years) $100 + ($50 + 3) = $250
Lindows (4 years) $100 + ($50 * 4) = $300
Windows Home (3/4 years) = $100
Windows Pro (3/4 years) = $200
