Windows 7 Cost?? - Page 2

Dashken · 11th Aug 2009, 11:20 AM

AFAIK, Windows 7 should be cheaper than Vista by a little.

I'm not sure about the cost.

But I know, the cost to Microsoft is lower as the new packaging is supposed to be more 'environmental' friendly - Basically it's a nicer way of saying "hey we are giving you low quality packaging" LOL

Yes, the free Windows 7 upgrade comes with every newly purchased PC with Windows Vista. But only for OEMs who choose to participate - Tech ARP - The Microsoft Windows 7 Free Upgrade Option Program Rev. 4.1

Yeah, I read from other forum, they need to pay shipping fee around that.

With official pricing of the Professional edition at US$ 300 (Full Package) and US$ 200 (Upgrade), I doubt the OEM version would cost any less than US$ 100. I could be wrong though.

for once i can say Europe RULESSSS!!!!!

this lyk the first time europe actually have an advantage/benefit compared to america.

the one i prordered was home edition for £50 (professional was £70 if i remember correctly <--- i'm not sure how much that would me in malaysian currency). and i get both 32 and 64 bit.

i jus couldn't stop myself from pre-ordering it.... eventhough i dont need it.... yet.

maybe it'll be of use on the future

EDIT:
and if i remember correctly, if you order direct from microsoft they charge you for delivery
