I have read all over the place that Dell has said pricing for windows7 will be even more than Vista. I certainly hope not as Vista had crazy high prices. Listening to all types of tech podcasts pepole were very happy with 7 and said if MS released it with reasonable prices it will be fantastic. But higher than Vista? No way. Vista Home Premium Upgrade was $299 in my country - an upgrade!! Windows Vista Ultimate is $750 and business is $565. I really, really hope MS looks carefully and releases the new OS at a much more reasonable price. (my country was nearly double the US price for some reason) I don't mean have it $10 or even $100 cheaper than Vista, I mean have it something like the price of OSx for the home premium full version.

As of this date, Microsoft has not announced any pricing information.Carey Frisch

If the leaked Best Buy memo is to be believed, the pricing structure is actually very reasonable - at least through Windows 7 Professional, the upgrade from Vista is $99 and down....Stephen
