<Note that there was no attempt by Microsoft to claim that the price of Microsoft software is falling, as has often been asserted here. Instead, we have the Microsoftese definition of "performance" - featuritis. >

I'm the one that said MSFT software prices were falling, and they are. The testimony on the stand focused on the Windows OS, not software in general. Visual Studio 6.0 and Office 2000 represent a nearly 70% drop in prices(give or take), unadjusted for performance increases and inflation.

Or have you forgot the days of $595 Wordperfect and Dbase.
