Nonsense. That's only true if if you argue that they've doubled the price since Windows 95, which would still be an abuse of monopoly pricing power.

Nonsense? Because you prefer to see the glass as half empty does not make a statement nonsense. If you want to make arbitrary comparisons look at what a great price cut it is from NT 4.0. From $809 to $199 new. What a deal.

Personal conjecture aside, the court found no predatory pricing.

At 99.00 it is a great value. Bought one today and got a 256 memory module in the boot plus some other stuff at Office Max. Odd Office Max has enough inventory vs. Best Buy who has none. Very weird. JFD

XP vs. 95

I don't know where you're coming from with that analogy, but for the price I paid for my Windows 95 system I could easily buy three new complete XP systems. Computer prices as well as price/performance keeps improving every year. Once again, consumers simply don't care how that money gets divided among the component providers.
