Default How much will Vista cost?

Everyone has been asking this question for some time now. Microsoft has finally released the prices on their Canadian Microsoft web site:

Microsoft.com Canada has released pricing for Windows Vista. Windows Vista Ultimate is listed at $499 Canadian which translates into $450.36 in USD. Home Premium is listed at $299 or $269.86 USD, Vista Ultimate Upgrade is priced at $299 or $269.86 USD, while Home Premium Upgrade is $199 or $179.60 USD.

Wow, I was really expecting the prices to be higher. I remembered back to XP
and if I remember, I thought XP Pro (full) was about US$500. So naturally, I
thought Ultimate would be around US$700. But to answer your question, the US
side hasn't released the pricing, AFAIK. I would gues that the US pricing on
the Canada site would be good to take from.

Damn $450 for Ultimate.... wow. Maybe Office Ultimate won't be $$$. Thanks
for the heads up too, that is the first pricing that I know of. Good job.

I'm pretty happy with vista at the moment considering it's a beta release,
but it has a fair way to go before it's worth that much

I went over to Microsoft Canada, and the pricing has been removed. Sounds
like Microsoft, offically, doesn't want to give out the pricing yet.

I'm sure they'll have a figure in mind and if the one that was posted before
is accurate it would sound about right
it could of been a lot higher but I don't think that would be justified
considering all the features that have been left out so far, and also it may
be shipped with a lot of bugs and faults.
I'll wait and see what the final product is like, and if it's as unstable as
a lot of people seem to think it will be then I'll probably stick with Xp
Pro until the first service pack release for vista and then buy it

i honestly think that is a stupid price to pay for an os. especially when
it's not that much better than xp. i though $100 for home premium and $200
for ultimate would be more suitable. no way am i spending that!

It wasn't removed...it was never there. They haven't put the pricing UP
yet... The screenshot is a photoshop.

Trust me, when the pricing is revealed, you won't hear about it first on
some post by a 17-year-old. LOL
It will be all over the Tech World News, who have, strangely enough, not
said a word about it...

Believe whatever you want. Microsoft has always stated that the pricees for the various levels of Vista will be similar to the XP counterpart. XP Home=Vista Home Basic. XP MCE= Vista Home Premium. etc...

It was up on the site. The link I provided was a direct link to the Microsoft Canada site. Not my fault that Microsoft noticed it after I posted it in the forum and removed it.
