Re: Vista pricing for Australia

Quote:
Wonder what the OEM pricing will be?
I was wondering that myself. It will need to be a lot lower than retail as with the cost of computers being so low now the most expensive component will be the OS
$450+ seems excessive for an operating system, even $385 is over the top. No wonder folks are givig Linux serious thought. Windows is becoming a luxury item. It's this sort of pricing that makes piracy look attractive to so many people whereas if it were say $150 I imagine a lot more people would pay for it. Guess I'd better start saving now.
