This is an argument that was never out on blogs after these first betas of
Windows Vista... how much it will cost when will be
released?
There are no official news about this, but rumours on the net say that the
price will be lower than the actual Windows XP price and it could be around the
99$ (I'm talking here about the desktop version of Vista).
Will be true? It's difficult to say it now, but this could be a good step
over from Microsoft to fight piracy and illegal copies of Windows. With a price
around 99$, I think that the number of illegal copies will be sensible reduced
and this price could be also very attractive for people who want to
save their money and are thinking on a Linux migration on the
desktop.
I hope to listen official news regarding the future price list soon and
I hope that Microsoft will be on the "price reduction" road...
