I don't see why this should be too much of a surprise
Even MS will throw its customers a bone now and then. And seeing as EVERYBODY will be dual core sooner or later, it's not like they'll be losing any money over this in the long run.

I'm just shocked to see that there are ANY OS companies charging more. They will lose business. Even if they do manage to gain overall income due to the increase in price, this is an industry where market share means everything.
