Amazon.com announces Vista prices

Prices seem kind of steep. But then again, I do not plan on buying this for sometime. Linux is starting to look better all the time.

 

steep? vista basic and business seems similarly priced to their xp counterparts (home and pro).

 

You're right fuser, except consider that most people get their OS on a new PC. With bargain computers at $350, the OS is practically given away. Or the other way around, whichever you want to look at it. I question whether retail boxes will keep their low prices with Vista pre-loaded. How it all comes out in the wash will be interesting to watch. I know upgrading won't be worth it to me for a long time. I hear many others say the same thing, especially in the enterprise market. I think between the comfort and reliability of XP and the allure of a bright Linux future, Microsoft will have a tough sell to the masses. Early adopters will love it. Most will ask, "who cares?" That's my guess anyway.
