OT: Windows is too expensive

Just a min-rant. Windows is too expensive. My nieces computer blew up last week and I'm trying to be a nice guy and help her out by putting another computer together for her. Nothing fancy, she just mainly uses it to web surf and chat with her friends. But it costs so much to get a copy of windows anymore you can't even afford to build a PC yourself. Even an upgrade version is 100 bucks and for that you've got to have a hardrive with an OS on it already. A full version of XP Home is almost 200 bucks. It's getting to where the OS is most of the cost of a computer.
