Microsoft cuts price for boxed Vista. . .
. . .Microsoft Corp. will cut the price of some versions of Windows Vista, the software maker said late Thursday.
The move came a day after court filings revealed internal dissent over which Windows XP computers would be considered capable of running the new operating system -- and a feeling on at least one executive's part that the company had ''botched'' the marketing of computers as ''Vista Capable.''
Only copies of the year-old operating system that are sold in boxes directly to consumers are affected by the price cuts -- not the versions pre-loaded on personal computers. The cuts will range from 20 percent to 48 percent.
The reductions are to coincide with the late March release of Vista Service Pack 1, a collection of security fixes and other improvements.
Microsoft said the new prices will apply to the Home Premium and Ultimate versions of Vista, in both their full editions and the editions that upgrade an older or more basic operating system. . .

And it will still be overpriced, at that.

Wow. I didn't expect to be impressed by Vista, but I wasn't expecting it to rival Windows ME for worst software crash & burn ever.

and their next move will be to include MS-DOS & CP/M in every box for FREE!
