Yeah, I think Microsoft has had a very odd strategy lately of "how much can we get away with? We can change it later," only the fact people see that you're trying to see what you can get away with in the first place can be a bit of a turn-off.
Had they started this patch fee at something much lower, I wonder if there'd be as much outcry. Sometimes, I honestly think there might be, but asking for $10,000 just makes you look like a jackass.
