"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."

"This Windows only world would be an ideal place for jason.Knight."
I'm mildly amused. It would humor most to know that I run OSX as my main (non-job related) OS. I make my living writing software with/for MS products, so I do have a slant in their direction, however I don't base my career on decisions made by other companies...if I did that, I'd have gotten out of the computer biz a long time ago.

Agreed, imagine a world where the only choice would be Windows XP or Vista.
Microsoft could screw you over senselessly and you would have nothing else to do but pay up.
