Microsoft Announces Windows 7 Prices
We all know that Microsoft will start selling Windows 7 from October 22nd, but we didn’t had any confirmations on what the pricing will be like.
Early rumours said that Microsoft will offer free upgrade to Windows 7 for Vista users, but that was all proved wrong with the latest pricing announced.
When compared with the retail pricing from what Windows Vista started, there is a much notable difference in them. I have given the prices of Windows 7 upgrade and retail versions below, where you can judge yourself whether Windows 7 is really worth buying right now or you should wait for the first price drop from Microsoft.
Upgrade Version Prices
- Windows 7 Home Premium: $119.99
- Windows 7 Professional: $199.99
- Windows 7 Ultimate: $219.99
Retail Version Prices
- Windows 7 Home Premium: $199.99
- Windows 7 Professional: $299.99
- Windows 7 Ultimate: $319.99
If you’re wondering what is Windows 7 Professional, it is, what is currently called Business edition for Windows Vista.
