"Microsoft quietly raised last week its per-incident support prices across the board for Windows and Office. Support for Windows XP and Windows Vista now costs USD 59 per incident. Prior to the Vista launch, the per-incident support price for Windows was USD 39. Vista users get their first 90 days of support for no charge. Support for Office XP and Office 2007 now goes for USD 49 per incident, compared to USD 35 per incident prior to the January 30 Windows Vista/Office 2007 retail launch. Office 2007 users also get their first 90 days of support for free."

Blame it on the weatherman...
MS seems to do it's best to repel all customers with lower incomes. Maybye they wish to become sort of elitist softmare vendors? Or maybye they just wish to sqeeze their customers dry? Either way, every other software developers (GNU/Linux devs in particular) only gain from this decision.
