because it often isn't zero cost nor is that something we can successfully 
guarantee will continue to be a differentiatior or one that even matters to 
people today (it doesn't to many, windows/mac comes with their hardware, 
etc).

so the no-cost argument is often a bit deceitful (there are costs associated), 
it can have the unintended side effect of making the software sound "cheap" 
(== low or no value) and can be defeated by Microsoft dropping their prices 
(c.f. their recent $3 offer to developing markets)
