Microsoft said at the PDC 2008 that Windows 7 will cost the same price as Windows Vista did when it came out. They believe that is was a very good price, because the cost balance pays all the staff and profits needed. So we are looking at this:
Starter - £50.
Home Basic - £100.
Home Premium - £150.
Business - £170.
Ultimate - £200.
And then it should come down.
I agree with Microsoft on this, Windows Vista and Windows 7 is worth this much. No Operating System has reached its standards, not even Unix or Mac OS X. However Linux is worth its price definitely, because it's free. I believe Mac OS X is good for show-off businesses and media hobbyists (show-off or not).

Asker's Comment:
Everything was great, exept i dont use that currency.
i need the US price,thanks.
I disagree.Tiger needed to wait,there are too many bugs in the OS/GUI model.
I find windows expensive.OSX sells for $150.WHY is windows TWICE AS MUCH???
Unix,I find,especially recently,due to the openness of it all, has taken a step backwards.Mandrake and RedHat were good

Good answer regarding the price, however no reason whatsoever to bring Unix and the Mac OS into the answer. Expecially as the comments were opinion.
