Rumour: Windows Vista - $99

[MicrotechXP]

Microsoft expect that by reducing the price, piracy will become less attractive (and the sale of more legitimate copies should cover the lost revenue). Additionally, Vista is likely to force alot of people to upgrade their computers, faced with having to pay a sigificant sum for the OS aswell as the hardware upgrades, Microsoft is worried the majority will simply wait until their exisiting system is beyond use.

WOW. If this is true then I will be the first one getting it. Tell me what you think? :owned: :kdubb: :drool:

I saw this to and almost fell on the floor laughing. Theres no way its going to sell for 99 $ Of course there are about 6 different versions coming out of it.

Microsoft isn't that nice. <<< All I can say about it. Sept, if it was, I would buy it, unless I code my own OS.

[MicrotechXP]

Well we would have to wait and find out if it is true!

THat is so true with it maybe being 100 dollars it will surely cut down on privacy and that i truely believe. But most of all i think those are in fact Rumors and that windows vista cannot be sold for that low. If it does turn out to be true i am gonna be the first one to get it

[Vietkid58]

i agree... a cheap price means more people will be likely to get it legally... Hope the rumors are true

I'm not getting Vista, I'll move to Linux because I give Microsoft anymore money. XP is fine, leave it alone.

If Vista is going to be that low then they would have learned a thing or two from apple. They keep there prices low now becasue then people can buy it not pirate it. The Tigger is $130 but when version 10 came out for mac it was $300.

Its still not going to stop pirating. It might slow it down but it will never stop. Like I said before theres no way its going to be 99 bucks.
