What pieces are you talking about?  Just Windows 3.0 for a 286,
Windows 3.0 for a 386 (since we're not sure yet if they will be
packaged separately like they are for Windows 2.*), the SDK, or
what?  What about the cost of upgrading from a previous version
of Windows?

If it's just for the OS, no C compiler or SDK, then I have a hard
time believing it ... that's around twice the cost of OS/2, after
all!!  

I have a suspicion that either the store was quoting more than
just the OS, or else that they didn't really know and were trying 
to cover their a** so that they didn't lose money on the quote.
