    Ultimate - $400 ($320) Upgrade - $260 ($220)

    Home Premium - Upgrade - $160 ($120)

    So there you have it, more reasonable Vista prices!

    If anything, I would expect the upgrade prices to be the full version prices. They're still outrageous as far as I'm concerned.

    Why would I want to pay to get an OS that still has major issues... :mad:

    Still not worth it, and IMHO all prices need to drop $50-100 more before I'd consider it. Oh, and we'd still need SP2.

    they were never reasonable to begin with, so "more" reasonable is still not reasonable

    Upgrade oem or retail? Got a link? I just got Vista Ultimate Upgrade retail, signed edition for $220 and thought it was a steal (did get in on that 2 for 1 deal over the holidays though, can't complain).
