Who said anything about 'ludicrous windows licenses'? That's how much most
people would expect to pay for any platform... In the past, I've seen VB
apps that wrapped around IBM 370 code sold for $40,000. Windows not
included.

Try buying anything from Computer Associates, and then you'll see what a
price tag really is. John's software is *way* cheap. This is not necessarily
a bad thing. And John's not Windows has *nothing* to do with that.
