I've not kept up with microsoft's price as it's always a bit tricky to find the "good deal" what with their tiered pricing scheme. I remember finding out that Vista was $499 at release (which I didn't bother to look much further after that either), that's what I was going off of. IIRC the ultimate edition could have been had at OEM prices for $349 or so at release if you got it from the right manufacturer with a HDD. Again, that's just what I remember, but I believe the standard price was $499 retail for the ultimate (i.e. everything) version. Please, correct me if I'm wrong here, it looks like as far as current prices I am incorrect. I'm not trying to mislead here, just state the differences. The different release cycles are not as black and white as people like to think.

At launch, Ultimate edition was $400 retail and dropped in price pretty quick (it was down to about $330 less then a year after launch and is currently $280 as previously mentioned). And since you brought up OEM prices, OEM Vista Ultimate is currently only $170.

Thanks for the correction. That's what I get for not looking it up. I look much more like an apple fanatic. ;)

It is funny when I said I would play games, I really only would ever play classics, Ie)mame, snes, genesis, nes etc..... what is available in apple? I am inprocess of googling..
other that this computer would be used for video editing, downloading via torrents internet,browsing, email and home apps such as word etc... I am not a huge new pc gamer, If I decide I will buy a xbox or ps3.
I spoke with my bro last night and he said I could borrow is macbook i think its called... to test drive it.

In that case you should be fine with the software available on the mac and it just comes down to personal preference on which type of computer to get. Its really good that you get to borrow your brothers computer since it will let you try out the OS and decide whether or not you like it better then windows.

Enjoy and be open minded. Something need a little getting used to. Sometimes you have to unlearn stupid things that you got used to because of Windows. Like removing a program. It was so simple that it took me a while to find out how to do it.... :laugh:
