http://www.liveside.net/opinion/archive/2008/08/14/steven-sinofsky-starts-blogging-on-windows-7.aspxJust thought I’d do a little promotion for one of our old friends, Steven Sinofsky, who is now blogging with John DeVaan over at Engineering Windows 7 (or e7 for short). There’s a welcome post up already, which leaves you in no doubt as to their intentionsenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://www.liveside.net/opinion/archive/2008/08/14/steven-sinofsky-starts-blogging-on-windows-7.aspx#9131Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:28:13 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:9131Chris<p>launch prices for Ultimate were $399 and business $299, home premium was $239:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/robert/archive/2006/08/28/Windows-Vista-Pricing-and-Launch-Date-Revealed.aspx">www.windows-now.com/.../Windows-Vista-Pricing-and-Launch-Date-Revealed.aspx</a></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9131" width="1" height="1">http://www.liveside.net/opinion/archive/2008/08/14/steven-sinofsky-starts-blogging-on-windows-7.aspx#9130Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:48:33 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:9130DeathSeeker<p>I'm guessing most Home Premium users paid $60 more for BitLocker, full system backup and remote desktop. And most Business users paid $20 more for DVD/Movie Maker and Media Center. It's hardly fair to say that Extras are the only differance between Ultimate and Home Premium/Business.</p> <p>FYI: Current Vista prices are Home Premium, $259.95; Business, $299.95; and Ultimate, $319.95.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9130" width="1" height="1">http://www.liveside.net/opinion/archive/2008/08/14/steven-sinofsky-starts-blogging-on-windows-7.aspx#9127Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:09:20 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:9127Chris<p>DeathSeeker: I was looking at the price difference between Vista Ultimate and a lower spec version.
