There's no way that Thawte can do any reasonable verification of whether a software developer is trustworthy, and certainly not for $199. What's the point of this?

But so much of the software people use is shareware or freeware, and $199 might be a bit steep for some. People are going to be accustomed to running a lot of unauthenticated software anyway, so they'll be used to clicking past any "Warning, this software isn't signed!" dialogs.

My only problem is the price. That's a bit steep for the small software houses out there. I wish they were around $100/year. Oh well, I'm sure I'll pay it regardless. Just add it to the cost of development. It does look like something that will just make a lot of sense once it's in the wild. My only problem is the price.

So, either an authenticated Software Update with TP support (highly unlikely) or at the very least an authenticated Installer a la Microsoft's authenticated driver installs. Tech support nightmare in 3 ... 2 ... Oooo, spiffy.
