Windows 7 Pricing

win7-box

I meant to post this aaaaaaaaaagges ago but never got round to it. Anyway.

UK: Windows 7 Home Premium E        £149.99

       Windows 7 Professional E            £219.99

   Windows 7 Ultimate E                   £299.99

US: Windows 7 Home Premium           $199.99

       Windows 7 Professional               $299.99

       Windows 7 Ultimate                     $319.99

Above are the only versions available for stand alone purchase. Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 N and Windows 7 Home Basic  are only available in developing countries at a discount price, lacking features like touch control, Windows Media Center and, specifically to Windows 7 N; Windows Media Player. The low prices on these versions are to combat rampant piracy in developing regions. Starter and Home Basic will only be available in the UK & US on low spec laptops and netbooks and the above versions won’t have Aero capabilities and the Starter version won’t have DVD playback capabilities, you can’t change the wallpaper and it can only run 3 programs at once.

Windows 7 Enterprise Edition will be the most complete version of Windows 7 featuring everything from Ultimate plus a few extra features but Enterprise will only be available to developers.
