Also, if you look at the productivity gains and ease of use, that $1000 is
gained back rather quickly.  RPG.NET costs $3500 per seat (in addition to
the $1000 for VS.NET) and that is kinda a big gulp for us guys who have
lived in the RPG/Java world where everything is "free".  As you can see I am
kind of standing in the middle of the fence :-)
