TokyoKiller Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Hmmm, I was surfing through Microsoft's Canadian site and found a "Product Price" section, and apparently they have Windows Vista and Office 2007 already listed there with prices in Canadian Dollars. http://www.microsoft.com/canada/pricelists/ I don't know if this is relevant or not, I thought it was a good find for me as I've been wanting the precise price of Windows Vista Home Premium in Canadian! Tip to Americans: Minus $100 from the Canadian price and you get the USD retail price ;), this is how it is in Canada...We get ripped off by a $100 :rofl:. Ask any fellow Canadian :whistle:.

TokyoKiller Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 I personally think Vista Home Premium is the best edition for the price.

ViperSnake Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Wow, did you see the price for Vista Ultimate Upgrade? $300 CDN, that's actually pretty cheap for what Microsoft is saying is "the most premium OS package ever offered". I actually predicted that it would cost around $600, but that's actually a pretty fair price! (oops, beat by 3 minutes!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually predicted that it would cost around $600, but that's actually a pretty fair price! (oops, beat by 3 minutes!) No, $300 CAD sounds about right. Isn't that what XP Pro upgrade was when it came out? And remember, you say upgrade. When you think that way, it does sound quite expensive.

TokyoKiller Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 So the real question is, Who's buying Windows Vista :D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Press any key Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 -- Vista Pricing Revealed WinInfo -- Newsletter by Paul Thurrott, thurrott@windowsitpro.com Online retailer Amazon.com has begun taking preorders for various Windows Vista versions, which will be available January 30, 2007, according to Amazon.com. Not surprisingly, the prices that Amazon.com lists for Vista are quite similar to the roughly equivalent Windows XP versions. According to Amazon.com, the prices for Vista are as follows: Vista Home Basic: $199.00 Vista Home Basic Upgrade: $99.95 -- Maybe drop to this version.. Vista Home Basic Upgrade (Additional License Only): $89.95 Vista Home Premium: $239.00 Vista Home Premium Upgrade: $159.00 :( [How much is that in Australian dollars ..] Vista Home Premium Upgrade (Additional License Only): $143.00 Vista Business: $299.00 Vista Business Upgrade: $199.00 Vista Business Upgrade (Additional License Only): $179.00 Vista Ultimate: $399.00 Vista Ultimate Upgrade: $259.00 Vista Ultimate Upgrade (Additional License Only): $233.00 Although not every Vista version correlates exactly with an XP version, the pricing is in line with XP pricing. For example, XP Home costs $189.00, compared with $199.99 for Vista Home Basic, and the XP Home Upgrade costs $89.97, only two cents more than the Vista Home Basic Upgrade. Upsells won't be particularly expensive either: Prices for the much more capable Vista Home Premium are just $40 to $60 higher than those of Vista Home Basic. Amazon.com doesn't yet show the box art that Microsoft will use for its Vista retail versions. Earlier this week, Microsoft Canada also slipped with a bit of Vista pricing information: The company's Web site briefly reported that Vista Ultimate would cost $450 in Canadian dollars.
