Microsoft Cuts Price for Boxed Vista<br><br>Gotta love it! <br><br>And then there's this quote:<br>Both versions serve the tiny percentage of users who install an operating system on their own; most people get the latest version of Windows only when they buy a new PC.<br>If that were the case, I'd still be running OS 9.0 on my 8 plus year old G4. <br><br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by MacBozo on 03/01/08 07:26 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

"Ditto" here!<br>And I probably wouldn't have installed it if it weren't for one specific app that I need...(Well, and some games....)<br>I'd consider 'upgrading' if the price dropped to below $50.00...<br><br>[color:blue][/b]Hodie mihi. Cras tibi.</font color=blue>[/b]

What does a copy of Vista Home Premium go for nowadays? The article says 20-48% price drop - that's kind of a wide range. I'm wondering if this is yet another "journalistic guess."<br><br>
