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.

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:.

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.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing.

All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
