"Windows XP should cost no more than $60. Than people might buy it. I think MS should be taken over by the government and made into open source."
I agree with the first part.
As for the second, I think the US govt should threaten to turn over microsoft to the Chinese . Then maybe they will write some good software price it right.

Windows XP Pro is $200. The latest version of Mac Tiger is $89. There is something very greedy in MS's pricing policy.

"Windows XP should cost no more than $60" If every copy was purchased legally and none stolen, maybe it would be $60.
