Windows 7 official SKU prices released yet?

Just curious so I can start saving up since I know it wont be cheap to purchase it. I do have Windows 7 RC running and love it and will make the final upgrade. I also kept my Win XP 64-bit as a bootable OS... anyways I plan to purchase the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and wonder how much it will set me back.

Thanks!

Sorry bout the dual thread, got an error and thought it didn't go through, and to the one who posted about the same prices as Vista 64-bit... didn't someone state it would actualy cost more? just dont know how much yet.

Probably $180-$250 @ launch for an OEM kit... Maybe $20-$50 more for Retail...

Yah no way i will be paying for windows 7...not a snowballs chance in hell.

They released prices. 250$ for the standard, then some ultimate type addition for 300$. Lucky for me I get all this free (legally) :D.blade55555

Aren't OEM OS's usually around $100?

For the ultimate version, no... for a home edition... yes...

Well it supposedly is a lot better with games and gives you a performance boost in a lot of areas. I'll be getting it day it comes out (thank god for my dads work so I get it free: D).blade55555

I'm running the latest release candidate right now. I chose to upgrade from Vista instead of doing a fresh format like I normally would out of laziness and the transition has been absolutely seamless. Booting and shutting down is faster and the general feel of the windows is more responsive. The interface also seems more refined. Actual in-game performance has been approximately the same as on Vista; Nvidia does not yet have a new driver specifically for WIndows 7 (it lists Windows 7 separately, but the driver it links to is the same as the latest availalbe for Vista).DGFreak

What's the big desperation of getting a new OS as soon as it comes out? It's not like a new game....it's a complete overhaul of your system. Just wait until the first bugs are fixed, or the service packs come out so you don't waste time with things that don't work...FelipeInside

Oh trust me I won't be buying this until my RC expires sometime next year, and I believe its launching at the end of this year.

Already is better than XP, any games that take advantage of DX11 will find it too be a massive performance boost yet retain the looks of DX10.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] I believe it will be better for games... but I doubt it will be better than XP. Still, just a bit more performance but a pain with programs, devices etc....nah, I can wait....FelipeInside

It is better, but I was just adding that little segment on DX11, that means Vista would get a nice boost as well.
