Read the fine print!

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.

Vista Ulitmate cost 500 bucks. Vista Home Premium is 300 bucks. Theres a 200 doller difference you dont need the best version it will just be full of crap you dont need.

As the first post on the forums on thet page said, for that price, Vista Ultimate should come with a computer. For that price, it should at least come with Halo 2 bundled in. It also seems stupid to sell the other versions alongside. Unless you cant afford Ultimate, why would any self-respecting PC gamer buy anything else?

Because it comes with a load of crap you simply dont need? Does anyone know the difference?

I read the fine print. You need to pay the full 500$ if you want all the prime features.

Think of it like the 360 core package, where it's not as good as the full version, and is more likely to mess up...

I want all the prime features. I want to be able to watch and record live TV on my PC and on my Xbox 360.

It's going to cost me rougly a thousand dollars. Better start saving up. Oh, my [dad's] aching wallet!

You can already watch Live TV on computers..... All u need to do is get a Cable hook up.... and recording is the same as recording on Halo Fraps and Gamecam.

And PAY FOR IT YOURSELF CHEAPO!

Xp Pro was roughly $500 when it came out. In fact I remember seeing it at Staples for $800. First thought through my mind: Yeah fuqin right!

And you're just ignorant... in actuality, it's more like $400 US. The Loonie's been hoverin around .80 USD for the past 7 months now

You don't have to have that version. I will be getting the 199.99 version. It won't come with all those BS pre-loaded programs. I can just take word and other programs and stuff and put it on a flash drive and transfer it over to vista.

Dude I got a job and $500 is going to be tricky to come up with. Especially since I'm getting a $1200 desktop as well.

Looks like I'm getting a 2nd job.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the source of the article. I haven't seen anything on microsoft.com about this. I think we might want to vverify the validity of the story before we start to yowl about the price. If it is not confirmed by Microsoft in the next couple of days I wouldn't beleive it. You don't announce the price structure of your next operating system on some BS tech news site. That kind of news shows up on Bloomburg and Wall St. immediately, because it affects the millions of Microsoft shareholders around the world.

Why don't you do what I did for XP? i.e. buy a new computer when it's released and you'll get Vista (I assume) included.

Anything "non-stock" that you have can probably be transferred over...
