According to Reuters, Amazon.com has begun taking preorders for it’s new Windows Vista operating system.
Prices will range from $99.95 for a basic upgrade version to $399.00 for an ultimate version.
The difference between the two is that the ultimate version will also have “…television and digital photography components that used to be in Microsoft’s Windows Media Center Edition. It also includes the ability to take notes on the screen using a stylus, which Microsoft formerly offered in its Tablet PC Edition.”
People can preorder Vista now from the Amazon.com site, with the software “promised” to ship on January 30th, 2007 to consumers and to “…corporate clients purchasing multiple copies in November.”
Microsoft spokesman lou Gellos “…declined to comment on the Web retailer’s pre-sale, saying the software maker is still completeing its pricing model for Windows Vista. Microsoft Windows director Kevin Kutz did say however, that “…Microsoft will provide pricing when it releases a near-final test version, called a release candidate, before the end of September.”

It be on the net on the 29th then.
LOLoooo….and probably of a month way before Januray…..
Well I’m excited to try it out but I don’t know if it’ll be much better than XP. It looks like just Windows XP with Window Blinds. Anyone heard about WinFS and all that good stuff that’s supposed to go along with it? It looks like a resource hog but if they were able to streamline the code a little bit it might not be so bad. Plus I’ve got 2 Gigs of super fast RAM so I kind of would like something that would give my computer a little more demand to justify the $240 I spent on RAM alone.
Well GOOD LUCK Theinfamousone… because I am not putting that DRM infested piece of bloatware on my computer anytime soon. And by the way if you haven’t heard…they did away with the win FS file system as it would take too long to get vista out… it is going to be the NTFS file system …same as on win xp ….they also did away with just about every other improvement that would actually make it worth buying. Which is why I won’t be getting it anytime soon.
I think it will suck from the reports I have read about it. But at least it will have plenty of DRM….like I said…good luck!
