   I'm not sure I understand your argument. I am basing my argument on the
   fact that most people buying Windows Retail are doing so because they
   feel comfortable that they can get the support that they may need. There
   is always someone to call or email.

   The argument that you are making above would apply to Corporate users,
   but the argument that I was making was for individual home users.

You're free to find someone else who will give you support for less.
Technical support is expensive because the marginal cost is high --
labor isn't cheap.

Considering what's in Vista (Ultimate or otherwise), you're still
getting a bargain buying Ubuntu *plus* support.
