If Ubuntu and all its apps were commercial how much would it cost?

Discuss how much you would put the price. Of Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Consider that desktop environments were not interchangable i.e You ned a Ubuntu and Kubuntu license to run bothe KDE and Gnome.

Keeping in mind the price of Windows Xp, Windows 7 and OsX Snow leopard.

I'd say if you used that basis of cost, Ubuntu would be $129.95, Open Office would be about the same price. But everything else on the CD comparable to Windows is included in the OS, except Brasero... that'd be $79.95 if you already have the burner.

So in essence, if you had to pay for Ubuntu, it'd be over $300.00.

I value my free Kubuntu cd a lot more than my Windows 7 "Ultimate -Ultimate extras" one
