I don’t know what it is about the past few days, but it seems like Microsoft is just trying to piss off consumers. First we heard about the 54.2% failure rate on the Xbox 360. Next, they decide to stop shipping HDMI cables with the elite version of the 360. Today, Microsoft’s malice extends outside the realm of video games.
Apparently Windows 7 Home Premium, yes the full version, will be going for just £65 in the UK, which is around $107 dollars. The same version in the US is $200. Hell, the upgrade version in the US is $120. This all has to do with Microsoft killing the “7 E” version of the new operating system and matching the original price. The price is supposedly indefinite, though some sources suggest it may get hiked just after Christmas this year. I’d definitely pre-order one before then.
