MandoTiM 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Hmmm, looks like the usual M/S rip-off for power users or those that want to upgarde what they already have to a similar level. So if I'm running the lowly Home premium I'm fine with an upgrade for $169 but if I'm on Vista Ultimate I'm up for $399 at a mere discount of $60 off the full price for a new copy, having been running Vista for less than 12 months that seems a little steep to me. Now I understand that there are more things in Ultimate (like 64 bit etc) but my PC is already running those things under Vista so for an upgrade to a similar level surely it should be for a similar cost (ie $169 for H/P and $200 for Ult)? Seems to me Microsoft are just losing a possibility of seeing lots of people actually upgrade to a o/s that seems to work properly for once (in my view it is the o/s that I purchased with Vista but never got). As usual the bean counters just assume that a fixed number of users will upgrade therefore we'll charge what we need to "make a return on the investment" rather than if we charge half what we did last time we might just get 3 times the number of purchasers (and therefore make more). upgrading from the top of the line o/s to the next top of the line shouldn't be similar to buying a new copy. Shame really as the copy of RTM I'm trying seems to have ironed out a few of the problems with Vista and seems to be blisteringly fast in comparison. I like the driver install which seems to be quite hands-off and seems to work well and even some of the bits of old hardware I am using like a German Professional Audio card works well. One or two bits of hardware don't but then they didn't with Vista (a nice faithful HP scanner I've had for nigh on 20 years) either. I'd like to upgrade but paying $60 less than a full copy really annoys me. Corpsoft pricing listed below...

Director 480 Posted September 30, 2009 Now OEM prices have been unveiled by online retailer Newegg.com. Newegg says it will be offering Windows 7 Home Premium for $99.99, less than the suggested full (not upgrade) Home Premium license price of $199.99, and less than even the $119.99 suggested upgrade license price. OEM Professional and Ultimate licenses will be priced at $134.99 and $174.99, respectively. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=16368 Hmm, I might bite at that price.

kikz 86 Posted September 30, 2009 Looks like it's $30 for students....grrrrrr. http://www.win741.com/ Yes it's applicable here too. How dare a company reduce prices for students. This is clear indication that Microsoft can sell their product for significantly cheaper than they do. I knew prices in the hundreds of dollars was not justified.

It's so typical of the tyrannical and commerical dogs they are! I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I dare say the only reason they do this is because they know most students would pirate it (i.e. they're poor). $30 is better than nothing!

Mademan 6 Posted September 30, 2009 But by the same token, most former students, as in (computer literate) citizens, could also pirate it too, so it could still be cheaper at retail. The educational version of Vista was still about $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's so typical of the tyrannical and commerical dogs they are! Assuming you aren't being sarcastic, they make their products cheap for students so that they are literate in Microsoft products upon graduating. Taking that skill set into the workforce. That's how they justify selling so far below the retail price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krispy89 19 Posted October 22, 2009 Why is Windows 7 so expensive in Australia? Just goes to show you that Australian's are getting ripped off blind, and that it is a significant difference between the price in other markets. e.g. Home Premium Standalone: AUS $299, US $199=AUS $216, UK= 149.99 pounds=AUS $265 Off to see my Uncle methinks.

2SHY 1 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Would really like a Windows 7 3 pack OEM. What versions are people getting? Looking at getting Windows 7 Professional. Price is not competitive enough.

Hmmm.... Interesting. With our aussie dollar around $0.92-0.93US at the moment I wonder if there would be any dramas in buying it from overseas? All Windows operating systems seem to have the option of selecting different languages, regions, etc etc.... Can anybody see any problems with buying a US copy of Win 7? Has anybody already done this? If you are looking at the Ultimate version it would make sense to save some dollars. (I wonder how hard it would be to buy an OEM version from the US????)
