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.

I will pass on your old and already answered scripted insults and lies.
People dont have a problem with your opinions , its the lies and blaming game and insult you trow in with it they object to.
Its strange that you feel the need to discuss GNU/Linux offer and options in a thread where Microsoft is the main topic and its pricing. When you claim you dont care for a product and have no loyalty to any company.
Care to be on subject for a change and tell me why 199$ is a good price/offer for the Home version ?
What are the difference between the version and there pricing ?
Why is there so many version of the same product from the same company ?
Why is the Ultimate version so higly priced ? Is the legal XP user going ot get a rebate for this version to get the full version ?
I can get GNU/Linux for no cost , and this days really good versions too , what is in Vista pricing that I should be on the lookout for ?
What new hardware and technology is Vista going to be offering legally based on price ?
I already know the answer to the question I asked about Vista , but the answer and discussion about vista where done with someone else and somewhere else , because here and now , people like you feel the need to insult my platform of choice and my work and are not interested in an honest comparaison on price.
The reason why is simple , there offer is not that great and is not what they first mentionned it would be. Also no cost is hard to compete with on a pricing discussion.
I am also going to to get it by default on some hardware I wil buy in the futur anyway , because its cheaper to keep it on then ask for what I whant.
