Im just curious I live in the US and it was only like 120 bucks for a Windows 7 ultimate when I bought it. It was one of those stand alone new system builder versions. I know alot of you dont live here is it alot more where you live?

Bought Windows XP Pro, Bought Vista Ultimate, why dump another 300-400 dollars on Windows 7 when it came out? Why is it so expensive? Why aren't we getting discounts on purchasing previous Windows?
I've already decided with my uncle not to purchase Windows 7 and I may not purchase Windows 8. They could still make a killing off of their Windows platforms at around 150 dollars when they release it.

Not to mention that they price-gouge their paying customers to make up for the losses they get from pirating customers.

What? Don't tell me there are still people using Windows! It is SO last decade. Now, all the cool kids are on Linux.

Because Linux is widely supported by many applications. I see.

The only reason I am on a legitimate copy is because I got it with my laptop. I agree with Freedom Kira, it's really sick just how much they demand people to pay for their OS. I don't think I have ever bought it stand-alone, always got a copy with my new laptop/computer.
