For example, Microsoft office 2007 for students in the US is priced at 150. To me paying 150 for anything I only use occasionally is pretty steep (that may be an upgrade price). I know the programmers aren't seeing any percentage of this. while they may get paid more at MS then elsewhere, They probably only make a 5 figure salary. If things were cheaper, There wouldn't be software piracy. IMHO.
