    Default Windows Vista US Prices Revealed

    According to A****n.com, they are taking orders in the US for Windows Vista. I don't know what the prices will be here in the UK, but hopefully they will be similar.

    Vista Basic - £106 ($199)
    Vista Premium - £126 ($239)
    Vista Business - £157 ($299)
    Vista Ultimate - £210 ($399)

    Those prices seem very attractive for a new OS release. Don't forget OEM

    I think it looks quite pricey to be honest, especially when you consider the Basic copy will be next to useless.

    Lets just hope the OEM versions are cheaper, as I can't use the Vista upgrade versions, just because

    Been mentioned in the Vista Questions thread.

    But prices seem about normal really, your paying for a piece of software that will last you.

    Looks really nice IMO. I would consider getting 'Ultimate' if I have the money.

    I wouldn't expect prices to be that high.

    Probably some dodgy site, hoping people order it at that price.

    If it isn't then :shock:

    BRING BACK PP!!!

    Its that wonderful world of high street retailers.

    The retailer is not dodgy and they will sell at the official price. Their retail packs of XP are the same as anywhere else.
