Are you comparing these products to thier competitors on an inflation adjusted basis. Relative to Borland and crew, Developer Studio is a drastic cut in pricing. You get about 5 fully equipped development environments and sample code for a little more than Borland would charge for one and or two products. <Developer Studio full pro version is twice as high.> Developer Studio is a new product that has dropped the price threshold of the entire market. <SQL Server is higher for 100 users.> Yet has brought the price for 100 user DB's down significantly from the ORCL, Sybase adn Informix days. <Windows is somewhat higher> Windows is somewhat lower than the other graphical OSs. <Even a msft mouse is higher. > An MSFT mouse (Intellimouse) is also more functional than the competition.
