Couple of announcements in Blog space lately have highlighted major price changes by BI vendors, making the software cheaper.
This one by Cindi outlines a change in pricing for Business Objects. It also mentions that SAP/BO have made Dev/Test environments free, a subject close to my heart at various SAS customers at the moment (and not in a good way).
And Microstrategy have announced a free version of their reporting suite for upto 100 named users (limited to 1 CPU though). There seems to be lots of additional modules you have to pay for, which I would call core reporting capabilty, but then given the number of blog posts about their offering you have to give their Marketing team a HI 5.
