Also, occuring to me just after I'd sent that, is the fact that most
users don't ever pay for software directly anyway; Windows comes 'free'
with the machine, as will basic media players etc. iTunes is free,
flash/real etc. are free, and Office is easily knocked off from friends.

Individual users don't generally care about the price of software
because they don't pay it.
