Just let the Evil Empire charge the full grand for Windoze. Heck, a lot of NT versions now are plenty over the k mark (pity anyone dumb enough to buy the stuff).
When M$ pushes the price up, peaple are going to buy superior stuff, be it Be (the best desktop OS, AFAIC, just needs some apps (port OpenOffice & Mozilla)), MacOs X, or even the Penguin. And they'll be a damn sight better off.
