$64 covers more than just WMF licenses, it also has to cover the CyberLink PowerDVD licenses, Macromedia Flash licenses, commercial kanji font licenses, ATOK input method licenses, etc.
How many people do you know in Japan or China? If you do then you'd know that Turbolinux is on every store shelf and has been the most popular distro in Asia for quite some time. This is a Japanese distro, not an American product. If you researched your facts before spouting you'd learn they have been selling products nonstop for over 10 years. Just becuase something isn't sold in the U.S. doesn't mean it doesn't exist (and do well) elsewhere. Take off your blinders, there's other countries out there.
$64 doesn't pay for just the WM codecs. It also covers other licenses such as PowerDVD, Flash, new commercial Asian fonts, etc. All these things cost money so the overall price for WM might be very small.
Wrong spirittraveller, Turbolinux spent several months negotiating their license with MS. Read this article before you shame the slashdot editors...

I've worked with a great recruiter in the past. His name is Jason Lamsback, and he has placed a variety of people in past organizations I worked in. I found him to be one of the best recruiters I've worked with because he took to the time to understand about what I was looking for and the style of organization I was trying to build. What I liked about him was that he had an internal corporate recruiting/human resources background and a staffing agency background. He just contacted me recently because he is launching his own recruiting agency. I don't believe his company website is up and running yet, but I know his is currently generating clients (which is why he contacted me). His company name is Spinout Staffing, and his phone number is 760.318.3997. I plan to work with him again when our hiring picks up.
