Even though the retail launch of Windows Vista just a couple of weeks away, Microsoft is still continuing to fine-tune its licensing and pricing details. Sources said that Microsoft will announce some time over the next few days that the two additional copies of Vista Home Premium for somewhere between USD 50 to USD 99 a piece. In order to qualify for the so-called 'Family Pack' promotion, customers will first need to purchase at retail a copy of Vista Ultimate, which carries an estimated retail price of USD 399. The deal will not be offered to those who purchase Ultimate preloaded on a new PC, sources said; it will be for customers buying and/or upgrading via retail channels only.

If Microsoft is still fine-tuning its prices, there must be,IMHO, but one reason: Ultimate is not selling well at all and they have to make it more attractive without looking as they were backpedaling on previously published prices.
Hope they will think about ten -and more- children families...maybe at that time I will think about it again ;-)
