Microsoft cutting price of Vista

    Microsoft has said it plans to cut the cost of its Windows Vista operating system sold at retail outlets. What do you think about this guys? Will this convince you to finally upgrade from XP? More on that story here.

    These days all new and advanced laptops are coming with Vista only with the price of Vista built in.

    Microsoft is pushing this thing (called vista) in our throats even when we don't want it. I want an XP laptop, but guess what, I have to pay extra for XP (on a laptop with vista pre-installed and price built in) and installation charges as well. These are the things which makes people hate microsoft. Microsoft I hate you even more now.

    One reason why Microsoft dropped Vista's price is because Server 2008 came out today.

    I hate Vista and have no idea why they don't make it better and are just lowering the price - crap is crap at any price.

    Vista was well overpriced! The extra $200+ for Ultimate Edition is not worth the "Extras".

    I still use Windows XP, I have heard many negative things about vista,
    the only way I would use vista is if it was given to me as a present
    I'm not going to pay for it.
