Re: RE: Vista Pricing

So is this a comment in regards the article about how Microsoft is cheaper than Apple, or just a random Trolling? Either way, you're right to a point. I'm not going to spend that much on Vista, just to get a new shiny OS, with transparent toolbars. But, it's not like Microsoft sells any significant amount of licenses one at a time, their customer base comes from OEMs, and they aren't going to be selling people XP this time next year.

Microsoft wants to sell 400 million copies in 2 years, I think it took Windows XP a few years to hit 200 million so I don't know how Microsoft is going to do that with those prices.

Windows XP was a great update for people using Windows 98/ME and an ok update for people using Windows 2000. Windows Vista isn't much of an upgrade for people who currently have Windows XP though at least no until it becomes a necessity in say 2010.
