" Here in Europe a full version of Windows home premium
would cost €199 (about $280). You can actually purchase a
cheap Linux netbook for the same price! Yes, a boxed Edition of
Windows can actually cost as much as a full netbook, that's how
expensive it is. If you live in the US you will get some relief
though, as your license will only cost $199.
"The full business version of Windows will retail for €309
(about $400) the price of an entry level desktop. Who in their
right mind will purchase Windows 7 at these prices in a recession,
even if you can declare it as a business expense? Not many
people!"
