If it is only $100 for the professional version, count me in!

I hope that those prices are fairly reliable but we will have to wait and see if it is going to be that price or if the UK is going to put on some rediculous pricing strategy!

They messed up so badly with Vista that hopefully they decided to get it right this time and sell at a nice price :plot:

[skunksmash]

hmm....... £62 for ULTIMATE, sounds very reasonable to me :thumbs:

I hope they do bring it out with various levels again, Ultimate sounds coolest imo (it's the ULTIMATE XD) so I'll be up for getting that later :).

add vat to the us price so about £75 for the upgrade in uk prices if these are correct then there retailer markup/profit margine to think off so add another £20 to £30 still a bargain compaired to vista i wonder what full retail will sell at?

remember these are upgrade prices
what can we upgrade from? XP? Vista only? 2000 or even 98 ;) I wish, ... those old licences are just sat there :)

There is no upgrade path from XP AFAIK - only Vista :(

Isnt vista ultimate still £249.99 for retail?? When this compares to $279.99excl for america??? Wouldnt that mean that it would be around the £120 mark for windows 7 basing it on this??

so for an xp user like me I am going to have to look at retail pricing for win 7 on my biggie laptop
however my nice little samsung has vista so an upgrade is possible there :)

[mouldeeves]

YAY! Windows 7 here I come! Thats amazing pricing, about the price of a brand new console game.
SSD and Windows 7 will be wonderful :)

[Velineon]

These are all upgrade prices right? What about the prices to buy Windows 7 outright?
I have yet to see them.

[KyleG]

I think upgrading prices should be involved with using the beta as well :P

[Advanced]

I wonder how much retail Windows 7 Ultimate will cost??

[Asce]

From what ive read, Win7 is going to cost more than Vista.

nice, if it is true, count me in for the 64bit ultimate virsion :).

just whacking on my beta now :)

I think a sensible price would be a good move on the part of Microsoft. There are so many people using pirated/cracked Windows OSs and this is more likely to make them buy legit.
