If you're talking about 2.0, it hasn't been released yet; presumably when it 
is a product IBM and maybe MS will have cheap toolkits for it.  If 
you're taking about 1.x, the programmer's toolkits don't cost anything close
to $2000, and haven't since the products were released.
The MS 1.x toolkit is available at $350, the MS Softset (which contains all
the critical stuff) at $100, the IBM toolkit is about $600, I think. All
US dollars).
