But it is true, $200 for just an upgrade. I thought Mac OS X was expensive at $129 (Full version). I remember a couple of years ago that Winodows 95 or 98 was $99 full and $49 upgrade.

One thing to note when looking at that page...that is for the Professional version of Windows XP, which is from a marketing standpoint for Microsoft, the next step up from Windows NT/2000, which has always been targeted more for businesses and has been substantially higher priced than the 9x line...the Home edition of WinXP is considered to be the successor to 95/98/ME, and that upgrade is $99...

As far as the prices for previous versions of Windows, according to Staples at their web site...
Windows 98 SE Upgrade -> 97.95
Windows ME Full Version -> 199.95
Windows ME Upgrade from W95 -> 99.95
Windows ME Upgrade from W98 -> 49.95
Windows 2000 Pro Upgrade -> 189.97

So as far as a massive jump in prices from previous versions of Windows, I wasn't remembering it being as low as you mentioned in the past(I've worked with and installed every Windows since 3.1,) so I just thought I'd double check to make sure my memory was correct....
