>>Every software product in the industry from every which company, from utilities to productivity apps to games, has seen stable pricing.>> With the exception of the breakthru software product Navigator/Communicator, which due to the stable monopoly pricing power of your favorite' software manufacturer', has decreased 100%.

Sal, >>You did pay for the MacOS 8.0 upgrade from System 7.x.x, right? Actually my machine came with 8.0 already installed. >>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. Name another piece of software that ships with EVERY Compaq, Dell, Gateway, Micron, etc. We are talking at least one order of magnitude in sales volume between most software titles and Windows. A box of air and CD-ROM still has to cost far less to distribute than the CD-ROM player it plays on, yet I can purchase the hardware for less. Real competition produces real prices. Compaq can always switch brands on its CD-ROM player in search of a better price for its customers. Can it do the same with Windows98? Cheers, Norm
