Vista Pricing... $600! Hahahaha....

gnome · Oct 5, 2006

For top-of-the-line, priced at BP325 in the UK. That's $611 at current exchange rate... for the OS only? You gotta be kidding.

Should drive everyone to Linux...

OEM pricing will be way way cheaper, most people will just get it with a new PCs etc.

Oh! Well then, $600 is just fine...

Just the tip of the iceberg according to this article

Could be a boost to Linux when you can have Linux + OpenOffice.org for exactly $0.

I'm willing to bet a lot of people will have pirated copies...

Is there any word on driver support for Vista? Will XP drivers work for Vista?
