Actually, MS recently open-sourced the .NET framework (".NET Core") and announced they will be adding support for Linux and Mac OS X: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx

...seriously. April the first is still 5 days away.

  -- NCSA Mosaic
    \
     -- Spyglass Mosaic
       \
        -- MSIE
          \
           -- Spartan

I'd be really interested to know how much code from Spyglass or NCSA Mosaic survives in modern versions of Internet Explorer (and even Spartan).

Spartan/IE engineers -- any info?

I think the most important aspect of pricing is that your stated prices are itemized. That way you'll build trust with users.

As for pricing, perhaps a flat rate per request ($1?) that comes with up to 5 minutes of operator time for free. Then any time past 5 minutes could be billed in 5-minute blocks, perhaps $2 each (base price) and tiered up by order price (I dunno, maybe $3 for $500+, $5 for $2500+, $8 for $15000+). Also, you could charge predefined flat rates for any aspects of the order that can be automated.

Again, the important thing is that you're clear about what you're charging and why.

Great idea!

EDIT: changed suggested prices (redid math)
