Re: Greed
I don't know why people think this way. Bill Gates doesn't sell anything cheap. PCs that run windows are cheaper than Macs but let's be realistic:
Windows is the most expensive OS.
Microsoft Office is the most expensive office suite.
Their other apps aren't cheap either. There are plenty of reasons for the Microsoft monopoly (mainly illegal activity) that have nothing to do with the price they charge for their software.

I think people are overlooking the fact that with the mini iPod, Steve Jobs said, hey I don't have to compete in price, I'll just keep my usual profit margins and sell 4GB iPod for a whopping $249. Those suckers will buy enough of my product to keep me in business.
This is why Gates is the Richest man owning a monster monopoly and Jobs is a hippi wannabe getting credit for other people's creativity.
