10 years ago is one thing, 2 years ago another. Doubling prices in 2 years is something that many would love to be able to do. Especially in the face of increasing volume and decreasing service, like packing boxes with air instead of documentation. Usually, it's one of those things you have to sort of be a monopolist to pull off. So, you'd like to debate things on your own terms. A popular position on the Microsoft side, I might say. Along with the inevitable ad hominem attacks. I give you credit for not citing Rand of late as a legal authority, though her spirit lives around here. Cheers, Dan.

Alan, You and John D. have stated the the price of windows has come down-ie become cheaper in US dollars and one would suppose you meant this as a year '97 vs '96 thing, in constant dollars. The man, proves your statement wrong with documented quotes in dollars and proven wrong, you now change the nature of your cost debate away from dollars to another currency--philosophy, I would guess? Of course the fact that Dan has let the air out of one of the canards of the windows legacy,proves once again he is the man for that Slate job.;-)
