Cost Of Windows Vista - Is it worth buying Vista?

Friday, September 01, 2006

After Amazon decided to take the pre-order of windows vista, we can say that Windows Vista's cost will be something between 200 to 300 dollars. where in $199 will be the cost of the basic windows vista and $399 will be the cost of Windows Vista Ultimate. There are five versions of Windows Vista and they will range in between these prices.

It is to be noted that the most basic version of Windows Vista will be costing $199 which is equal to Windows XP home edition's price. However, it is yet not clear about the major difference between these two operating systems. Apart from the graphics, we don't see many differences in between these two systems.

Same is the case with Windows Xp pro and the business versions of the vista. Now, the question rises that is it worth buying the upgrade of the windows vista or buying the whole new pack of windows vista when one already owns Windows Xp.

I think that it will be difficult for Microsoft to sell Windows Vista, they will need to bring out some major differences between these two operating systems apart from the graphics in order to make it a success. Although, it is for sure that the new PC's will have windows vista as Microsoft will be able to make deals with Dell, HP, Lenovo and other PC manufacturing companies.However, the sale of upgrades will be certainly less.

Here's the detail of the prices of full, upgrade and additional licences :

Windows Vista Home Basic Full: $199.00
