MS Vista Price???

I can't see it at such a high price although as they say the cost will be buried in the price of a new setup as XP is now.

The only people paying that price will be home builders for the full or upgrade version.

Same from another source.

Best bet is on a new machine or wait and get it from a supplier (newegg), the OEM version.

Well, my new pc is fully capable of vista, and I'll get it and upgrade as soon as it comes out, (windows will FINALLY reognize me having 4gb of ram, and not 3.5) but the only flaw is my GFX ard, It isn't DX10 compatible.
I wounder if I should buy all my new hardware like Mause, Keyboard, etc etc... now, or if i should get vista compatible ones later. I hope they'll make vista drivers for the X-52.
