I looked it up its about 200-250 for upgrade 400-450 for the full version.
Bill can kiss my rear.
You can find full version OEM's for between $90-$250 depending on version. Never buy MS software at retail.
Hmm, I just downloaded another Linux distro - Simply MEPIS last night and it cost me, um, hmm. Well, I guess a few pennies for electricity and about 25 cents for the CD-R.
I've been playing around with Knoppix, Suse, Red Hat Fedora Core, and MEPIS. All for basically nothing. All include complete office suites too. (similar to MS Office) My system has been a MS free zone for a couple of years now, and I'm not looking back...
Yikes!, the the new MAC OS coming out this spring will be $129 I think unless they add iLife, then it'll be around $199.
Love our Macs!
