Windows 7 pricing announced: cheaper than Vista‏

Question: I heard somewhere that their would be a price reduction for those people who already had Vista? Like....
Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium = Less Money instead of the 1XX dollars...

Microsoft is not getting over $200 from me only 2 years after i payed for Vista. I'l give it a miss and wait till windows 8.

Its not really introducing anything i want anyway.

Im curious to see the final version as well but i just feel like the work they put into windows 7 should have been put into Vista. For instance would it really have been that hard in SP2 for Vista to have the WEI scores increased above 5.9 or too introduce the Aero shake and stacking etc

Im certainly not going to be buying a new OS every 2 years.

@DarkDavil - Those who get in on the pre-order can grab the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade for $49 - if they're in the U.S.

I'm just hoping (against hope?) that Microsoft gives us Vista users (especially Ultimate) break.

At any rate curiosity "will" get the better of me.

I see.. but im not a grown adult ..... so i can't exactly get 50$$ from somewhere.... I do hope Microsoft does make a deal with all current vista users(maybe even with x64 and not x32... but i rly dunno... i think if only ultimate users get the benefit of a cheaper OS it's totally unfair. And as stated above... im DEFINATELY not going to be buying a new OS every couple-of-years.. its just ridiculous!

I don't get it...
Retail Ultimate upgrade in US = $219.99
Retail Ultimate upgrade in EU = €299.99 ($422)?????????
In Europe the difference between an upgrade and full is only €20.
Are they really expecting us to fork out $422 for an upgrade after 2 years using Vista?

nope, the prices are at upgrade prices in europe, whatever vista prices are right now, knock 10 dollars off that and thats your final price. watch the video on the windows blog, and if you downloaded the beta or rc version, you get it even cheaper, you dont need ultimate anyway, its just a few extras.

From what i can tell ( i might be wrong ) its going to cost me £100 to upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate.

I think im going to take that money and put it towards a new Solid State Drive instead. The upgrade price should have been closer to what Apple has offered their costomers.
