Price of XP Home

[Rick Hanson]

I just purchased XP Home Upgrade for $99 Canadian from Staples Business
Depot. Two days ago it was $149 Canadian at that store.
Has Microsoft lowered the price?

It sounds like one was an upgrade version and the other was a Full version.
No, the price has not been lowered but may catch a sale now and then.

The full version of XP Home is currently $299 Canadian at Staples.

Cheap compared to what charges are applied in Australia.

I've never seen Microsoft (or at least the distributors, since MS doesn't
sell direct to many) lower OS prices significantly. More likely, either the
store had too much stock on hand and decided to clear warehouse space, or
it's just a sale to get you in the door.
