Windows 7 Pricing Announced
Talk about timing! We just finished up our Summer 2009 Northeast Roadshow Series yesterday at Farmington (thanks for all that came out!), and today there’s a huge announcement relevant to my Windows 7 presentation. Pricing for the retail Windows 7 versions was just announced, and here’s the estimated figures for the US:
Edition | Upgrade Price | Full Price |
Home Premium | $119.99 | $199.99 |
Professional | $199.99 | $299.99 |
Ultimate | $219.99 | $319.99 |
But as folks say, "why pay full price" (even when it’s 10% or more lower than Vista)? Here’s two upgrade programs you’ll definitely want to consider:
Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program
Buy a PC (tomorrow, June 26th, through January 31st 2010) with Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate, from a participating OEM or retailer, and receive a free (or low cost) upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7. Get the details here.
Pre-order program
Beginning tomorrow, June 26th, US and Canada residents can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium (for $49.99) or Professional (for $99.99) – more than a 50% discount. Visit select on-line partners like Best Buy and Amazon, or the Microsoft Store – tomorrow through July 11th.
