Pretty straightforward question...

Does anyone know whether MS will be discounting new purchases of Win 7 to owners of Vista etc? i.e. if you own Vista Ultimate, would you get a discount of sorts?

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything along these lines...
 
If MS want windows 7 to appeal to the mass market who are predominantly using XP then they need to price it so that is accessible to all.

Your average joe is far more likely to buy a piece of software thats 30 quid, instead of 200.
 
If you own Vista right now then no, don't expect a discount. However, soon they will be probably including upgrade vouchers with new PC's like they did with XP/Vista to stop sales of new computers tailing off before launch.

Pricing will be similar to what XP/Vista is now. It won't be as high as 200 but certainly not as low as 30.

they should make home ~£30
home premium ~£50
business/pro £100
 
I'm sure they have done their research and will price it at the highest point they can without turning away too many customers.
