A few weeks ago, a Canadien website leaked the prices for Windows Vista. Now, Microsoft has released the official prices for Windows Vista.
  • Windows Vista Ultimate Full is $399, Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade is $259.
  • Windows Vista Business Full is $299, Windows Vista Business upgrade is $199.
  • Windows Vista Home Premium Full is $239, Windows Vista Home Premium upgrade is $159.
  • Windows Vista Home Basic Full is $199, Windows Vista Home Basic upgrade is $99.
Microsoft also plans to release the beta code of RC1 to anyone who previously registered for the Windows Vista Beta 2, essentially restarting the Customer Preview Program. They will also allow new people to register for the release candidate of Windows Vista.

newtekie1I always laugh when people bitch about the price of OSes. They will pay hundreds of dollars on processors and video cards just for them to become obsolete in less then a year without batting an eye. However, when they have to pay $300 for an OS that will last them 5 times longer they bitch. And the $300 version isn't even really required, they could do just fine with the $99 version.

It is like people bitching about paying $40 for an air filter on their car, which will last 6 months to a year, then driving down the road and paying $50 for a tank of gas which might last a week if they are lucky and not saying a word.
you ever think thats because unlike windows, harware isnt full of bugs, need constantly updating to stop if from blue screening every 5 seconds and wont give you a virus\trojan\ some other nasty thing? :p

But Bill wouldn't have 50 billion bucks if he'd do that :p
