No, it looks like you don't understand the economics of the industry. It was not the UNIX OS vendors that set the prices for the applications. Most of the applications were developed by other companies. And it was a chicken-and-egg situation in terms of lowering prices. No UNIX version of Borland emerged. For the most part, it was not MSFT that caused PC software prices to drop but Borland with their cheap compilers and tools. Then later, Borland's competition in the Office Suite area that dropped prices there Even later on, the challenge came from Corel. As for NOVL, they simply missed the boat. I suspect that they got fat, happy, and lazy with their success.
