Microsoft just laid out the Windows 7 pricing grid for us, and here's the big takeaway: Vista and XP users will need to pony up $119.99, $199.99, or $219.99 on October 22 to score their Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate upgrade, and those of you who want a full retail disc will need to roll up with $199.99, $299.99, or $319.99 respectively. It's not quite that simple, though: starting tomorrow, June 26, you'll be able to pre-order upgrades at much cheaper prices -- $49.99 for Home Premium and $99.99 for Professional, just as we'd heard -- but pre-orders will be strictly limited in number and are expected to sell out quickly. Obviously we'd prefer it if final pricing was $49 and $99 for everyone, but it's not a bad start, especially since participating manufacturers will be offering cheap / free upgrades to 7 on new computers sold after tomorrow with Vista as well.

Oh, and don't you worry about scoring a place in line, because we're here to help: later today we'll be giving away 100 codes that guarantee a pre-order spot at the discounted prices, and you'll be able to share the code with two friends. You'll have to act fast, though -- the codes will only be valid for 48 hours. Keep your eyes peeled for our recession antidote post around noon EST, and get your clicky-fingers ready.

Update: Looks lke we've got our first participating manufacturer -- HP machines sold after tomorrow will receive free upgrades to 7, and we're hearing Sony will announce a similar offer soon. We'll be keeping a full list of announcements as the day goes on, check back later for more.

Windows 7 official pricing announced, limited pre-orders start tomorrow

Not Ubuntu, Ubuntu require use terminal to run apps.
 
Perhaps, you could find other store online for cheaper price than M$ upfront online store. That would make a big difference. Good Luck!


sequoias - Oh gee! That is very true! :D Oh boy, we can't believe that we still love the Mac OS X!

Even heard of counterforfeiting? It would be better to buy a license off the official website by Microsoft. I am getting one later when the full version of Ultimate arrives. :D

Maybe, you can look it up M$'s search engine to see whether there are other distributors of the sales as long as you are familiar with the stores. It might save your money wisely. If you are a college student, you would get a lot of discount at a campus store. Good Luck with that one!
 
When will deadline $49.99 / $99.99 pre-order?
really July 11 is deadline?

Window$ 7

M$ will enjoy collect your money when you buy windows 7 this Fall!:ty:

What about Linux? Linux is freedom! Linux follows the Free Software philosophy and hence gives its users the Freedom to modify, copy and share Linux.:D

Anyone plan to buy Windows 7 this Fall? :shock:
