< I agree that Windows is not a "premium product." But try not to chuckle, either, when I raise the possibility that, when you add in support and other costs, just maybe Windows is cheaper than Linux.> Come now, Gerry. I think your being a little lenient. Can you use Linux? If so, do you think your wife and children can use it? Linux is a product preferred by the (don't flame me) "geek" crowd. The guys who know their way around a command line and think that UNIX is just as easy to use as Windows Notepad. The time and effort that went into the GUI and application compatibility brings rise to a significant premium. We will not even get into the network effects stuff. Despite what you read on the Internet (where I always see technically biased stories in the media), Linux is FAR from being mainstream due to its practical applciations for the average consumer.
