Vista / 7 doesn’t cost 300 and it has a considerable number of improvements over XP.

Microsoft indicated that Win7 will cost about what Vista costed when it was released.

Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
Home Basic .......... $199.95
Home Premium ...... $259.95
Business ............. $299.95
Ultimate ............. $319.95

Linky

Looks like the MSRP is pretty close to $300 to me.

Yes, you’re correct... most of the Microsoft MSRPs come in below $300. And we all know MSRP is a “guideline”.

Features...........MSRP
Home Basic......$199.95
Home Premium....$259.95
Business........$299.95
Ultimate........$319.95

Please tell me though what kind of improvements are worth spending my time re-installing about 40+ some-odd applications.

I'd be interested to know what "improvements" there really are, and I don't care about goofy little graphics features that require a 300 dollar video card.

Don't even bother with "security" improvements, they're just something that the virus writers haven't cracked yet.
