What does cheaper really mean?
Real world examples. From another list I'm on (neither Wintel nor Mac related)...... The original poster had a problem with a driver supplied with his new camera peripheral, that needed to be installed over an NT supplied driver.....

Lucky you... I have an IBM laptop (company owned, not mine thank heaven) with a USB port. NT won't support USB, we have a USB CD burner... no problem, upgrade to W2K. It supports USB, right? OK< so why do my USB devices notshow up? Ah! On my lapto, the USB hardware is only supported under Win98. Not NT, not 2K. What's that you say? Paid $3500+ less than two years ago for that machine? Tough luck, ancient history, it's too old, no more software support forthcoming. Why not just buy a new one? After all, that *IS* why manufacturers drop all support for two year old products, right? Why buck the system, just pull out the credit card. Sorry, not me. Crap. Maybe Linux will talk to the bloody thing. Heinz -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
