Well, The Register pointed out what the MSRP truly is:

"Red Hat Desktop includes the Mozilla browser, OpenOffice and an Evolution 
email client.
"It will be available for download in mid-May and is aimed at academic, 
enterprise and government clients. Customers pay $2,500 per year for ten 
Red Hat desktops, ten desktop management modules, one Red Hat proxy server 
and some support. It joins Novell/SUSE in backing Linux for the desktop."

To me that seems like expensive "tech support."
