The basics
Microsoft can charge whatever they want for Vista. They made the software, so that is their right.
Now look at it objectively. MS came out with XP, then they started looking for 64-bit and came up with Vista after how long? Microsoft puts one hell of an investment of time and money into making this software, and that's not even factoring in the 64-bit and 32-bit seperate versions.
Once any hacker out there has spent 3 years developing something they might understand. Since that will never happen due to short attention span and ADD, I'm just talking to myself.
