purchasing upgrade vista

Just wondering if there is any priceing released (even just to you MSDN sub people) for Vista?
ie will it be cheaper to upgrade to Vista from XP Pro than home? Will there be much diff in the price for the basic to the full version of Vista?
any info appreciated!! cheers gerryR

Microsoft has not come out with a pricing plan yet.

No costs yet announced, however check this out - it might be useful :o) http://www.msblog.org/?p=556
But we'll let everyone know once they have a pricing plan.

I wouldn't consider all that useful since it does not provide a complete picture on pricing. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Glass half empty or half full Andre? Think a little more optimistically - don't think of "oh God, there's hardly any info there", instead think "oh, that gives me some idea, even though it is a small bit of info. what they're going to do with certain licenses".
Now... is the glass half empty or half full? :o)

That is just a guarantee to persons running pirated versions of Windows XP today, its not a normal pricing structure. I am sure the OP wants a normal pricing list (which is currently not available). -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
