price tag

Cyber Cynic: "Getting businesses to go legal with a native Chinese Linux sounded like a win to me. Until, I saw the Red Flag Linux price tag: 5,000 yuan, that's $725 U.S."

Cyber Cynic: "I know some of you really, really wanted Dell's first mini-notebook to have a price-tag of $299 and you're down because the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 starts at $349 with Ubuntu Linux or $399 with Windows XP.

Well, just wait, you're soon going to be able to get it for even cheaper with a 3G or Wi-Fi contract."

The Open Road: "But I think there's a more subtle problem: no one cares about replicating their existing experience for a slightly smaller price tag. It's simply not worth the risk."
