Microsoft Windows 7 Prices Released

And Europeans are gonna be shafted by Microsoft again. Shameful!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8118749.stm

Quote:
Microsoft will not be offering an upgrade version of Windows 7 in Europe.

In the past Microsoft has given people already using Windows a chance to upgrade to a new version when it becomes available.

While that option will be offered in the US, Microsoft said its efforts to comply with competition regulations meant it could not do so in Europe.

European regulators dismissed the claim, saying the move limited choices rather than opening them up.
Quote:
Europeans who want to get hold of Windows 7 but have not bought a new PC will be able to buy it at a discount. In the UK, the Home Premium edition of Windows 7 will be £79.99 until 31 December 2009.

By contrast buying this edition after 31 December will cost £149.99.
So no upgrade version, and they are trying to force us to buy Windows 7 by December so they can claim no backlash from Europeans for their shameful treatment. Try to protest by not buying it straight away and they practically double the price on you.

It makes open source OSs seem more and more attractive to me.

Retail prices:
Home Premium - £149.99
Professional - £219.99
Ultimate - £229.99

Discount prices:
Home Premium - £79.99
Professional - £189.99
Ultimate - £199.99
