Nothing wrong with your equation

Actually, any version of Linux is infinate in value. If value is coolness/cost and cost=0, then now matter what the coolness is, value is infinity. That also means that if windows were free (it is, how many people actuall BOUGHT a copy of Windows 98?) it would also be infinite in value. Must be something wrong with my equation. Oh Well.

There's nothing wrong with your equation. People get Windows three ways: Retail sales (which are paid for), OEM computer purchases (which are paid for, the cost is just hidden in the cost of the system), and illegal copying (which are free, so infinite in value). In addition, the coolness of Windows is imaginary, so the value of any costly copy of Windows is also imaginary. The only Windows with real value are pirated copies :-).

Likewise, the free developer's release of Be is infinite in value, but the users' versions are not (but they do have real value, not imaginary). Downloading Linux is far more valuable than getting a CD, but only if you have a flat rate internet connection. I think I should stop now.
