SunSpot: Was down at Best Buy this AM and looked at the myriad of competitive offerings being hawked on the Linux shelves. Can you imagine Red Hat had the nerve to offer the Linux Deluxe Package at 79.95 ($30 above the Judge Jackson approved price) when the standard only cost 29.95 . Buy the way how can they charge for something that comes to them free ( Perhaps the FTC should look into this gouging here). There were other Linux offerings filling in the gamut of that price range. If one did not like Linux there was always BEOS at 59.95. And then there was the venerable Mac O/S at about 100 bucks. So from what I could see there was plenty of O/S selection some cheap and some as outrageously expensive as MSFT's offerings.
