Microsoft said in a press conference that ‘In order to increase the demand of Windows Vista, we will lower the price of it.’ Windows Vista was launched last January and is sold at nearly 70 coutries around the world.
The Vista Ultimate Version has lowered its price from 399 dollars to 319 dollars. The Ultimate Upgrade, which is for XP users, has lowered its price from 259 dollars to 219 dollars. The price of Home Premium Version, which is the most popular, has been lowered from 159 dollars to 12 dollars. (The data above is the situation in the US. There might be some differences in other countries)
Also, MS said that they wills top selling Vista Ultimate Upgrade Version in emerging country’s market, taking in consideration that most of this version’s buyers are buying the Windows for the first time. However, they will start selling Home Premium and Home Basic upgrade versions.
In Korea the selling rate of Windows Vista is lower than 1%, so it might not affect the Korean Market. The overall selling rate is 10%.
