I don't think paying 2x-3x the price of a game for your OS and Office suite 
is expensive, and I guess most other people don't either.

Agreed, but my Windows or Office doesn't crash 18 times, and I didn't pay 
400 pounds for it :-)

However we did pay 10 thousand pounds for some CAD software, and that 
crashes occasionally (which is infinitly more often than the OS!).
