It looks like they expect to sell 30000 copies and generate $1,000,000 in revenue (gross profit). That means the software will not be priced less than $33 (roughly). That will make 1 million by itself.

Wasn't Lindows originally going to do a similar things before MS slapped a few lawsuite on them?
All the MS program libraries were reverse engineered and reconstructed for Linux so any windows program would have access to all the support files it needed.
From memory, it was working very well and ony a few months away from release, then MS came stamping in and throwing lawyers about with gay abandon.
