It's HOW MUCH?!?!?
 

MS Vista prices leaked
:shocking:

Time to stock up on the Vaseline...

Seems a mite pricey for something you won't actually own.

I can't wait to see how much of my resources this thing hogs, trying to chew my food and wipe my ass for me.

Happy ending?

Damn it Pie! I was saving that chocolate squirrel!

Calm down! Those are Canadian dollars, not real money.

Oh, well I have plenty of leaves and twigs in my backyard. Do you have change for a chunk of tree bark?

I've heard the minimum specs are something like 1GB of RAM and a 128MB vid card...MINIMUM.
Hooray for OS's driving hardware development!

The link doesn't work. 404'ing.

Anyone know/remember what the price range was?

I believe it was "WTF?!" at the low end, to "You filthy, greedy, scumsucking evil sons of a motherless goat from Hell" on the high end...

$239 for home
$259 for upgrade
and $399 for "ultimate"

all prices CDN.

What's the "improvement" anyway? Is it designed to require a patch every five minutes ???

Well, let's see. There's Palladium (next generation security). No, that's been yanked. Then there's WinFS (the new generation file system). No, that's out too. The Monad shell. No, it's gone. EFI? Hmm. That's been pulled.

Ummm. I'm really not sure what's left.

Pretty 3Dish effects on the desktop.
