Ah, but Windows...[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#2)

I'm sure Micro$oft would argue that Windows has gotten a lot more complex in that time - heck, ten years ago you could still buy it on floppy disc. :) Of course, so has all the hardware and everything else, and those prices have dropped, but I'm sure Microsoft will quietly ignore that... The price of Office is truly bananas though. I needed Access to do some freelance work last year and it blew a sizeable hole in my fee... It wouldn't be so bad if it were something that was obviously a high-quality purchase but I can't for the life of me see what's in Access that makes it worth that money. (Other than that Microsoft can get away with charging that amount because poor saps like me have no choice but to buy it.)
