Microsoft as a business are there to make money, and as much of it as possible. Traditional ecosystems where, ISV's and Microsoft Partners could build profitable businesses, are set to change because Microsoft have adopted the Apple model of doing things.

Your typical musician for example, detests iTunes for the amount of money they make for each sale of their music, and this is the way Microsoft are aiming to change the nature of the relationships with their main customers. That is why no-one is saying anything from the Borg.

Either put up with their charges, or shut-up.

For my 10+ channel9 searches a month, no way I am going to pay 40 bucks.

This is total bull crap!

Either provide a small free search API and a thick fat one for 40 dollars.

This is rediculous. I'm switching to google and putting a big fat google button in the app.

Do I have to pay when I search with my phone aswel?

I'm so disappointed :[

How much free usage can I get?

Every BOSS API developer can get a credit of 50 BOSS Units of usage from the service. The free usage is applied as a credit to your account up to a month after your sign up date.

http://books.google.com/books?id=nUhiQxUXVpMC&lpg=PP1&pg=PR25#v=onepage&q=yahoo!s&f=false

Yahoo!'s 1k node HBase cluster used to host their snapshot of Microsoft's Bing crawl.

There, free for you. Problem solved.

Your little apps will never use up the entire 50 Search BOSS credits.

Update: sorry, I forgot some of you don't know how to use oAuth to connect to BOSS v2. Here are the libraries for various languages: http://code.google.com/p/oauth/

Seeing Microsoft make money off the little people while they bathe in Corvette limo swimming pools makes me sad and motivated me to post this info.
