From the article: 'The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at $199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119. The full version of Windows 7 Professional is $299, with upgrades going for $199. Windows 7 Ultimate is priced at $319, with the upgrade version at $219.' In a nod to the global economic downturn, it is interesting to note that prices are 10% lower than Vista."

Wait, a copy of DOS 6.0 would have solved the Northrup Grumman problem in the other story?

I downloaded XP, off edonkey2000, over a 56k modem.
Though I didn't buy it, I feel I earned it.
That was before I went to university, and found they had free student licences anyway.

I thought Windows was freeware... None of the torrent sites ever asked for payment.
Freeware or malware?

At the very least it should be a $39 upgrade to Vista.
If $39 is the least it should be, you'll be happy to hear it's much more than that.
