A
Cheaper Vista
Are
you among the many who still haven't made the switch over to Windows
Vista? Well, you're definitely not alone. Thousands of individual users
and businesses alike are still using older operating systems like Windows
XP. Some say they just don't want to have to learn a whole new operating
system, while others say they're just waiting until the Vista SP 1 is
released. Some people have even said they're waiting because Vista is
just too expensive. Is that why you've waited? If so, that's all about
to change!
I just
received word the other day that Microsoft has decided to cut the price
of Windows Vista in an attempt to sway more users into making the switch
over to the new operating system. Here are the changes: Vista Ultimate
is now going to be $319, down from $399; the Vista Home Premium version
is now $129, down from $159 and the Home Basic upgrade version is going
to be $219, down from $259. So, as you can see, they're not drastic
changes, but every little bit helps, right?!
Microsoft
also announced that they will be lowering the prices for Vista in nearly
70 different countries and they wanted to make it clear that the price
cuts will vary by country. The price changes are also going to coincide
with the release of the SP 1, which should be sometime this month (March
2008). Since its release back in January 2007, Microsoft has sold over
100 million copies of Windows Vista and this just goes to show they're
hoping for 100 million more! So, tell me, are you going to run out and
buy Vista for the lower price? Or, are you going to hang on to XP for
awhile longer? The choice is yours, but at least you now have some new
options!
