The Future of Vista

[Guest]

Does anyone have any thoughts on pricing for Windows Vista (final release)?

It'll be around the same prices as XP - but obviusly the better the edition
then the more it'll cost. I reckon that XP at the start was about £140 ish
here... (t'was some time ago mind you) so it'll be around that I would have
thought for Ultimate.

Really not sure - they'll announce the prices late August/early September
apparently.

Steve Ballmer did say it will be similar to current versions of Windows. I
don't know, pricing has not been determined.

It would only be speculation. I expect Home Basic full to be around $199
and the other skus to cost proportionally more in about the same
relationship as Home, Media Center, and Pro today. I do not expect x64 to
cost any more than x86.

I believe the plan is to ship x64 in the same package as x86, and the user
gets to decide which to install.
