Microsoft's Ballmer says Windows more expensive than Linux

You have to admire the Register's way with words sometimes...

    So it seems MS is going to stop defying common sense and take an
    approach we could sum up as, 'it costs more because it's worth more'.
    This too will probably not survive informed criticism or daily
    experience, but it's certainly easier for the company's flacks and
    salesmen to say with a straight face.
