I think the main issue with increasing the prices, is past prices. If you increase costs, consumers usually demand a reason behind such increases.
Microsoft got around that by simply creating different versions of Windows. Leaving out functionality to create your less expensive versions, while throwing them all in for the higher end versions. Course I don't think high end versions ever went past a specific price ($399). Like WinNT, Win2k, WinXP Pro, WinVista Ultimate, or Win7 Ultimate.
