I know Office allows it... But, I'm pretty postive that the Full Retail
XP does as well. Unfortunately, I don't have a full retail eula
handy...

Not entirely true.
Not all versions of Microsoft Office allow multiple installations.
Only retails versions, but not all IIRC.
As for Windows, no consumer version of Microsoft Windows any version at
least as far back as Windows 95 has allowed more than one installation
regardless the installation.
Read the specific EULA for details.

I wonder where the hell these particular numbers are coming from.
Now in my case I've not been keeping track of administrative duties
on my home Linux system, and the cost is biased because I've had
to do rather interesting things (I'm not sure if I can count it as
being extraordinary or not -- it involved a live system-to-backup-disk
copy and it actually did work), but $1,265 would translate
into a little more than a day and a half of sysadmin per year,
assuming $100/hr. That would be quite a bit, though I do have
to spend some time doing etc-update -- a fact of life on Gentoo.
Of course this is on my system, which doesn't have to deal with
all of the stupid stuff one has to deal with in a corporate
environment -- or, for that matter, the load thereof.
But it's a rather curious set of numbers.

No. Any money spent on a Windows is too much.
About two hundred dollars. XP Home also hides a lot of important networking
stuff for you, and makes it impossible for you to set your wireless network SSID
and WEP key after reinstalling the OS. I discovered this today after one of my
cow orkers tried this.

That would be an OEM version, not a retail version. There may be issues with
support in this case. The last time I tried to get support from MS for an
OEM version they referred me to the OEM. I would not think newegg would be
a great place to get technical support for MS software!

I think you're missing the point. The point is that linux is not
artificially crippled in the way which Windows XP Home is. Linux distros
come with thousands of packages, too. In fact, from where I'm sitting,
Microsoft Windows XP looks rather more like the mud hut, whereas linux
looks more like the fully furnished mansion.
