635075 2008-01-29 08:19:00 I think MS has reduced the price of all editions of Vista (by $400 for the full version of WV Ultimate - from $1000 to $600 at DSEs!)

Check out DSE's Website (search.dse.co.nz 6df&site=&w=vista+ultimate&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Go) (also note upgrades are 'reduced to clear' - and Ascent's as well. (ascent.co.nz)

Still too expensive tho...

A bid to boost Vista sales maybe ? :rolleyes:

Just looked at some of the suppliers sites, OEM XP has also dropped slightly about the same amount as OEM Vista.

635077 2008-01-29 18:25:00 Mum bought Vista Home Premium for me for $150 on TradeMe. :D No need to go to the shop and get offered Ultimate, or a new PC... (although that would be nice :D) pcuser42 (130)
635078 2008-01-29 18:57:00 Mac sales are up again. Is this a tribute to the power of Vista? R2x1 (4628)
635079 2008-01-30 23:19:00 Hmm.... thats nice. Linux has also dropped their prices. Fedora core 3 is now selling for 25c!

For the most expensive distro, it will set you back a hefty $9.98c.


Compare that to Vista... is Vista really worth it? Not for me :)

Doubled their sales eh!:lol:



Compare that to Vista . . . is Vista really worth it?

Hmmm Well personally I have 1 combined question - Why is XP still crashing, locking up, have problems, drivers still causing problems, and its been out for over 6 years and Vista is only comming up to 1 year - sound familar problems with both?
I'm using both XP and vista - personally after working on a Vista PC and then going back to XP, while XP is faster in some respects it feels so :yuck: OK vista may not be for every one, but then neither is XP - ask any Linux or MAC users .
