This is sort of old news at this point (originally saw it last Thursday), but just in case some of you missed it... Microsoft will be slashing the price of some of its retail versions of Vista. Apparently this will become effective when the SP1 version rolls out later this year. Vista
Ultimate's full version will go to $319 from $399 (an upgrade is now $219, down from $259); Home Premium's upgrade is now $129, down from
$159.
This isn't entirely surprising to me. Personally I wouldn't want either of these versions...Ultimate is too bloated with things I'll never use and Home Premium is missing too many things I need for my office environment.
Although if you have been putting of upgrading and you want to get it all, and go for Ultimate, or don't need some of the missing "workplace" tools missing in Home Premium, this price drop is your opportunity to score.
Comparison chart of the various Vista versions can be found here.
