If Sun do > a good in support the $100 / year is a bargin (for corporate > customers - it's not aimed at individuals). Who's their market? Are they thinking they're going to steal big customers away from M$? Do they think the small mom and pops will buy non-M$? The latter is more likely than the former. I do agree that if they're throwing in support with that $100, it could be a good deal (depending on the level of support :) ). To be honest, I've never gotten bad support from M$. Even when I no longer had a key code for my MS Office CD (lost the case), I called MS and got a new key without hassle. I haven't had to call for support in quite a while, though, so things may have changed.
