Micro$oft Vista takes price to new levels

Microsoft has set pricing for the Windows Vista operating system for the US market, although UK and rest of the world pricing is not yet available.

The Redmond-based company also confirmed again its commitment to releasing the OS in January, after distributing it to business customers in November.

The upgrade price for those with older versions of Windows is set at between $100 to $259, depending on which version required. The most expensive will be the “ultimate” edition, designed for business users.

The standalone products will cost from $199 to $399.
