Check prices for Microsoft Products! (CDN $)

[TokyoKiller]

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]

I personally think Vista Home Premium is the best edition for the price.

wowwwww ;)

Windows Vista Ultimate English UPG DVD Retail Tech SKU 299.00

[ViperSnake]

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!)

Office Pro 2007 for $759 ? Even in Canadian dollars, that can't be right.

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.

[Cloud Geek]

nice find but its not the oem price list and oem rebates :laugh:

[Slimy]

Interesting stuff, I'm really considering going legal with vista, I just need to find a very cheap + legal deal :)

[TokyoKiller]

I just went legal with Windows XP after I bought my Dell laptop, I actually got 2 cd-keys with my Dell, one under my laptop and the other with the CD that Dell send me LOL.

Now here's something interesting: Amazon.com has Windows Vista @ $399. They also state that it will be released on Jan. 30, 2007. You can actually pre-order it now according to the site.

What do you know, I made into an article :o!

Wish other websites stop claiming it's their source and use Neowin's news post as the original :no:.

To give them the benifiet of the doubt, it is possible that they discovered it on their own. But it would be nice, if they did find it through us, that they would give us credit.

But regardless, congrats on making the Australian IT (Y)

So the real question is, Who's buying Windows Vista :D?

-- Vista Pricing Revealed

WinInfo -- Newsletter

by Paul Thurrott, [email protected]

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.

Man I just seen the price list and it is overwhelming.

I hope that you can atleast put it on a couple of computers for that money

haha :whistle:

[Hurmoth]

I'm sure glad I have my MSDN subscription :wub:

Does Microsoft really expect people to pay $399 for Vista Ultimate?
