Sal:

While Microsoft has not raised the price of Windows or Office over the past three years, the percentage of the cost of a system has risen dramatically.

Today, you can buy a very well equipped PC for under $1000 and even pretty nice systems for $500.

Yet, Microsoft continues to charge $80 to $90 for Windows and $200 for the Office upgrade.

Sure, OEM prices per seat for Windows are less than $80, but they are still about the same as three years ago.

I'm becoming more convinced that the government is going to do something to break Microsoft's grip on Windows.

A breakup is starting to look likely.
