Moderators Andavari Posted August 30, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah and if the price changes at all as in cheaper then you're stuck paying more with a pre-order from Amazon.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah and if the price changes at all as in cheaper then you're stuck paying more with a pre-order from Amazon.com. That's true. I think you'd have to be pretty diehard to pay $400 for the ultimate version. There's also rumors going around that soon some PC makers will be offering coupons for free upgrades to Vista if you buy a PC before it's released. They don't say which version the upgrade will be, however. On a side note, MS has already released two patches for the beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 $400 is way too much for Vista. $100 for Mac OS X. Rather buy handcuffs than Vista. They're both designed to restrict me, but the handcuffs are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 $400 is an awful lot for an OS, especially one that seems like it's going to be rushed like Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both designed to restrict me, but the handcuffs are cheaper. ROFLMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
