Microsoft to Cut Windows Vista Prices

Microsoft Corporation plans to cut prices of its Windows Vista operating system sold at retail outlets, Reuters reports.

“In the United States, Microsoft will reduce prices for Windows Vista Ultimate, the company’s top-end operating system, to $319 from $399 for the full version and cut the price for an “upgrade” version to $219 from $259 for consumers who already run Windows XP or another edition of Vista. It also cut prices for upgrade versions of Vista Home Premium, its mainstream product, to $129 from $159,” Reuters says, adding that the price cuts will vary by country.

Microsoft said earlier it would continue to sell its previous operating system - Windows XP - until June 2008.
