I have no issues at all with spending money for a quality product. I also have no issue with said company making a profit on the products that they sell. So why am I so hesitant to spend so much on Vista? The DRM stuff irks me, but not enough to prevent me from buying it. I do think it's a bit expensive, but I've paid more money for more trivial things. I also took part in the beta and had my machine dual boot with Vista and actually enjoyed the experience and flashiness of the new GUI.
I guess when it comes down to it, Windows XP still works for me. I feel like they're trying to push a product on me to replace a product that I still get along with.
I think if they did lower the price by $100, as you suggest, I would be more likely to pick it up and make the switch.

So when will they start adding BluRay and dual HDMI? :)
