Acer: Vista is an excuse for Microsoft price increases | |

Microsoft is raising the price of its software as it prepares to launch Vista, according to one of the leading PC manufacturers, Acer. According to Jim Wong, senior corporate vice president of the Taiwan-based company, the issue is simply that the basic home edition of Vista, Home Basic, which is available for preorder on Amazon.co.uk for 154.99 pounds ($293), is so basic that users will be forced to move to Vista Home Premium, at 189.99 pounds ($359). A Home Edition of Windows XP is currently available for 165.99 pounds, but has a recommended retail price of 176.99 pounds. | ||
