While I'm a student, that'd be fairly affordable -- $19.95 for a copy of the university-site-licensed Windows disk, plus $69.95 for an academic copy of Parallels at the University bookstore. Of course, that adds $80 to the price of my Sony Reader. On top of which, it'd be the only reason for me to have a copy of Windows at all. Again... not convenient.

Same for me. I use a Linux Ubuntu box at home, and although I have access to a Windows system at work, installing new software (like the Sony Connect) on that machine is definitely prohibited!
