Xp was 400$-500 when it first came out if my memory serves the price will be 3/4 of what it was after the first year...especially after any flaws come to light and after piracy cracks it...

Won't it be free after it is cracked? Not promoting piracy or anything of the like just a bit tongue and cheek.

I am just not really happy with them having so many different versions of the operating system with real little benefit for the increased pricing structure.

I wish they just had one core operating system and one affordable price.

I would suspect OEM versions would be out there right at release or shortly thereafter. I think in the past Microsoft has released upgrades for OEM's before they launched the retail versions. I doubt that would be the case for an entirely new product though, as I am sure they are going to hype it up as much as possible for a big midnight madness frenzy.

How you mean big midnight frenzy? Do you mean when buying an OEM computer with Vista on or do you mean the night Vista comes out there will be a frenzy just to buy the software thanks ps need details.

I'm just going to buy a whole brand new computer with all the bells and whistles, with Vista already installed on it. KISS.
