Microsoft announced on Tuesday US prices for Windows Vista, the long-awaited new version of the operating system that sits on more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers. The software maker set the retail price for Vista at between USD 100 and USD 259 for users upgrading from older versions of Windows. The prices range from the basic version of Vista to the top-end 'ultimate' edition. For consumers looking to buy Vista without an upgrade, the products will cost between USD 199 to USD 399, Microsoft said.

If Microsoft wasn't enjoying a monopoly, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Instead, we would be saying "LOL, with those prices, they'll be out of business soon!"
I guess if you're big enough, you can make people believe that if you're that expensive, you must be awfully good.
In the Soviet Union, there was only one model bread toaster.
It cost a fortune.
And people were waiting in line to get their hands on one.
But hey, what am I talking? Vista has lots of versions to choose from!
Yeah, good ol' Choice, and the blessings of our free market economy.
