Microsoft Canada leaks Vista prices
Microsoft on Monday briefly posted pricing for Windows Vista on its Canadian Web site, giving an insight into what the company will charge for the new operating system.
The posting indicates that the Home Basic edition of Windows Vista will be priced the same as Windows XP Home, at $259 Canadian (Ј120). The Home Premium version, which includes support for Media Center and tablet PC abilities will sell for 13 per cent more, a price that translates to about Ј140.
Microsoft quickly removed the price information, but Ed Bott, who spotted the price list on Monday. Bott cautioned that those trying to figure out US pricing would be better off comparing the Canadian Vista prices to their XP counterparts than to just convert to US dollars -- the same would apply to UK pricing.
A Microsoft representative said the company "inadvertently posted Windows Vista Canadian retail prices" on its Web site but said it has removed the posting and is not ready to share US pricing information. The company said it would announce those prices when it ships the 'Release Candidate 1' test version, which is due out by September.
