$150 for the Professional edition seems expensive the more I think about
it.  I make sure to purchase from Red Hat because I want to support
Linux, but these days I can buy a whole computer for $400.  Adding $150
for the operating system is a 37% increase.  That's only $50 less than
Win XP Pro.  

I would be curious about how much research Red Hat does in pricing
this-- particularly because I would expect most of us to continue using
7.x server installs for the near future.
