hmm - lets see if i can do a better job at explaining:

a) windows variant for avg ~150 with ~5-10 of support

b) linux variant for avg ~0 with no official support (community based support, which.. well, hmm.. nice words.. nice words... nope)

c) my opersys ~20 with lifetime support.

----

now, do you see?

Take an economics class....

Just 10,000 copies sold bring in less than $150,000 after you take into effect marketing, packaging and production.
Now you have 10,000 customers you have to provide a lifetime of support. You can't do that alone, you have to hire trained personnel to tackle that task. How are you going to pay them? $150,000 won't last 1 year....
