Is Windows Vista Overpriced?

It’s unlikely that many people actually buy Microsoft Windows at retail stores instead of as part of a computer package, but does seem excessive that according to accidentally released information from Microsoft Canada Windows Vista will range in price from $259 Canadian for Windows Vista Home Basic to $499 for Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Upgrade costs are $129 to $299.

By comparison $429 Canadian will buy you a Dell Dimension 1100 with a Celeron® D Processor, 512 MB of memory, a 80 GB hard disk, CD-RW and a licensed copy of Windows XP Home.
