I have Vista business on a HP Pavilion tx1000 notebook which bogs it down bigtime – I’ll pay to upgrade it to 7 Business just to get rid of Vista. I roll my own desktops so the price matters to me, but the way it looks so far I’d seriously consider investing at the asking price. It looks like an OS worth paying for and one that will will be around a while like XP. It will be interesting to see if MS cuts prices at all in response to the hard times. Will they do it? Nah.

And the OEM cost of Windows is already below $100. So they dont need to worry about the price of the retail boxed copy as much because it is only a small fraction of their overall sales
