That's pretty much an impossible (or at the very least, asymmetric) amount of money in much of the world.

So charge them less? Now the scammers will call from those places.

How does msft handle support contracts from customers in the developing world?

As far as I know it's priced the same. In the context of this discussion - A business to business relationship - $500 is pretty reasonable at a global level.

For an individual consumer - I think $500 is a fairly steep price even in the US (and other 1st world countries) and that's by design.
