That's VeriSign for you. Thawed sells the very same certificates for $200, and Comodo runs a coupon deal for Tucows members that gets you the cert for $99 (though the actual process is a bit too contrived compared to Thawte's).

startssl.com has code signing certificates for 60$, valid for 2 years.

yeah, I didn't go out of my way to find the cheapest price there. I just searched for "authenticode certificate" and that was the first result.
