Vista prices leaked!

Yes indeed, informations about the cost of Microsoft’s major OS upgrade since Windows XP — Windows Vista — have been leaked, ZDnet has learned.

Look how cheap Vista will be. Afterall, it’s a full bloated OS with lots of eye candy so you must pay for what you get.

Full Version
•Vista Ultimate $450
•Vista Business $341
•Vista Home Premium $269
•Vista Home Basic $233
Upgrade Version
•Vista Ultimate Upgrade $269
•Vista Business Upgrade $224
•Vista Home Premium Upgrade $179
•Vista Home Basic Upgrade $116

I’ve already put an order for that cute Vista Ultimate. For $450 it must be bundled with a car!

P.S. - Now seriously.. who’s the jackass that’s going to pay $450 USD for Windows Vista?!?!
P.S. 2 - Vista Ultimate looks like taken from Dragon Ball GT.

Update: Thanks Joel for pointing out that prices are in Canadian Dollars. Please apply a factor of 0.9 to the referred prices. Still expensive!

    Thanks for pointing that out. Still, Vista Ultimate will cost $405 USD! It’s a lot of money for an OS.

    No news for me. What is the price for Windows XP Pro? I\’ve paid 499€. I Will not upgrade it until I need it for real like I needed XP Pro. And also I don\’t now if my MBP will be capable of running it.
