Totally agree with this...forking out 324 USD a year for each of my systems (laptop + workstation) per year is just too much. A basic support option just for security fixes etc at a reasonable price would fill that hole well. Call me cynical but Sun will probably ignore this and keep on ignoring the fact that not everyone is and "enterprise" grade user.
