The Microsoft platform IS cheaper.

Windows Vista, for example, is TONS cheaper than a new car.

It's cheaper than a boob job.

It's cheaper than my house -- although that may not remain true if American real estate doesn't right itself.

It's cheaper than lots of things.

Kind of like when I got the West Nile virus. That was pretty cheap, too.
