How about another one of those PR blunders at a Microsoft site ? This time its on Microsoft Canada’s site and what Engadget managed to scoop up at “Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report” over at ZDNet blogs is the pricing on Vista packages coming end of 2006…..It’s a lot of money for those still using pirated software…Be ready to fork out some cash. I hope it won’t be that expensive over here in Asia.

Now all I want for Christmas is a free upgrade to Vista for my Windows XP…Anyone care to sponsor me ??? I have 2 laptops to take care of.

Although the items have since been removed, Bott managed to copy down the prices, and they read as follows: $499 for Ultimate, $379 for Business, $299 for Home Premium, and $259 for Home Basic, with the corresponding upgrades listed at $299, $249, $199, and $129, respectively.
