Norm, I don't have time to write an essay on why software pricing hasn't gone down like hardware pricing, but I think someone with your knowledge should already understand why *ALL* software pricing (non-Microsoft software, that is) has remained relatively stable.

You did pay for the MacOS 8.0 upgrade from System 7.x.x, right?

Anyway, I'll again assert that it's not just Microsoft software pricing that has been stable. Every software product in the industry from every which company, from utilities to productivity apps to games, has seen stable pricing.

<We are not seeing the reductions in software prices that are being seen in the hardware sectors for some strange reason.>

You can't be serious. I thought you were a programmer? Take a browse to the MSFT site and see how much software you can download for FREE. Then trend the historical prices of the software that you can't download for free and adjust them for inflation.
