Selling your kidney wont help you wont get enough money to pay for ultimate you will just have to sell your soul to mirosoft instead

Will be interesting to see OEM pricing.
BTW, I am looking to get Dell XPS 1210 laptop, and for additional USD40.00 I could get Vista later upgrade - Home Premium.

Yes it sure will. My "guess" on Vista Ultimate OEM is around the $250 mark but it may be more.

I'll be buying two copies because the packaging is just soooooo sexy. I nearly wet myself when I saw the pics of how it opens.

Don't get me wrong I have no intention of installing it, I just like the boxes it comes in especially the black one because it really convinced me to buy.

Well whatever floats your boat Extreme.........

I suppose packaging is a harmless kink.

anyone got a idea of OEM priceing... cuz if this is how the prices are standing then i think im selling xp for a few more months till the price drops to a "REASONABLE" price!

I'm with Arkay

Vista pricing is why I have been playing with Kubuntu for a while now. I'll stick with MCE 2005 for the HTPC, and go with Linux for the desktop. No Vista upgrades for me unless something changes.

I'm with you BlueJ. Ubuntu has been a fun experiment on my desktop, and now that I know that some windows based programs can run on Ubuntu (sepecially dvdshrink) I'll be 100% Ubuntu in a little while.

Having said that, finding drivers for my Dlink wireless card were a biatch, but I got there. On my old AMD 2500+ system its running a breeze. I had all sorts of problems getting Vista RC1 to work on that machine, and now taht I know the price, I'm glad it did.

Cheers,
Birdie
