Pricing: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate

We reported in a post last week that Microsoft announced it’s pricing for Windows 7, but it seems that many of us still have questions about the pricing for all of the variants of Windows 7, such as Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate.

The pricing for the successor to Vista is a complicated one, as there seems to be some deals on offer before the operating system is released. The latest is from Costco, who claim to have the cheapest price on the market.

Computer World has explained in detail the pricing for all versions of Windows 7. Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade will cost $49.99 and Windows 7 Professional Upgrade will cost $99.99. However, there are still some better deals to be had on these prices from Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart’s and Costco.

In other Windows 7 news, we reported on Saturday that Microsoft were thinking of offering the OS in a USB drive form, but that could work out too expensive for them. Although this would be a far better option for those who have a netbook with an optical drive.
