Check prices for Microsoft Products! (CDN $)


Recommended Posts

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.

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:.

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!)

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.

For the Aussies in da house :p

The article mentions Neowin.net and user TheGriffin.

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)

-- Vista Pricing Revealed

WinInfo -- Newsletter

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.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
