Microsoft announced price cuts for Windows Vista on February 28, but only for standalone boxed copies sold at retail.
The price cuts are not Vista copies preloaded on new PCs or sold through volume-licensing contracts. Microsoft characterizes retail as a small fraction of Microsofts overall business, (no exact numbers available from Microsoft), in the words of a compay spokeswoman. And secondly, Microsoft itself is cautioning that some users wont see any cuts at all starting in late March, when Microsoft begins making its Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 update generally available.
