Windows 7 Cost Or Price

Windows 7 Picture 6The cost or price of Windows 7 isn’t fixed. It actually depends on where you are buying from, the version of Windows 7, and the type of Windows 7. Now let me explain why the price or cost of Windows 7 depends on these factors further to you below.

Where you are buying from: It depends on where you are buying from because not all stores be it online or offline will offer the same prices for Windows 7 and so the price will differ from place to place and the location of where you are buying from will thus affect the pricing of your Windows 7 copy.

 

The Edition of Windows 7: The edition of Windows 7 that you are buying also affects the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will be buying because the price of every different edition of Windows 7 will definitely differ from one another but the difference won’t be all that big and they will all be in the same price range.

 

The Version of Windows 7: The version of Windows 7 that you are buying also affects the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will buy or be buying. But first of all when I say the version of Windows 7 what do I mean? When I say the version of Windows 7 I mean whether you are buying an upgrade version of Windows 7 or full version of Windows 7. So the version of Windows 7 that you are buying be it an upgrade version or a full version will also affect the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will buy or be buying because an upgrade version of Windows 7 will have a different price and a full version of Windows 7 will also have a different price.

 

So when you ask the price of the Windows 7 one can’t give you one fixed price as the price of Windows 7 because it mostly depends on these factors that I have talked about above.

 

But I will list below the price of Windows 7 in the US as announced by Microsoft on the Windows 7 Team blog.

Price of Windows 7 In The US As Announced By Microsoft

Windows 7 Full Version Price or Cost

  • Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
  • Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
  • Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99

Windows 7 Upgrade Version Price or Cost

  • Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
  • Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
  • Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99

Poll: Will You Get A Copy Of Windows 7?

Windows 7 Picture 6 Windows 7 was officially launched and released to the public three days ago and the excitement about it from the public has so far been high. So I was wondering people are going to get a copy of Windows 7, or if some are going to stick to their Windows Vistas and their Windows XPs, or perhaps some who downloaded the Windows 7 RC are going to stick their Windows 7 RC till it expires next year in 2010, and as a result of this I have decided to conduct a poll and see if the majority of people are going to get Windows 7, stick with their Windows Vistas or Windows XPs, stick with their Windows 7 RCs till their expirations or whatever that they are going to do about the getting of a copy of Windows 7.

 

So will you get a copy of Windows 7? Please share your answer with us by voting below. Thanks :).

Windows 7 Has Been Officially Released Today

Windows 7 Picture 6 Uh……wasn’t it just yesterday that the Windows 7 Beta was released to the public? Oh, it’s been months now? Wow, I can’t believe it’s been months now since the Windows 7 Beta was released to the public and now today is the day that the full version of Windows 7 has been officially launched and released.


It’s an awesome and exciting feeling for me and I know that it is for many others too because it’s been kind of a long and exciting wait and I just can’t imagine and believe how far we’ve come in the Windows 7 development and release journey and now we are finally at the end of this journey. A journey which included not knowing when Windows 7 was going to be released and expecting the release date’s official announcement from Microsoft, knowing the official release date of Windows 7 but can’t wait for that day to come, and making friends who had the same interest of Windows 7 as you do both online and offline. I think it’s been an exciting, fun-filled, awesome, benefiting, and experienced filled journey.


But if this journey has ended, the excitement and adventure is not yet over because another new journey is beginning today. And what’s this new journey that I’m saying is beginning today? It’s the journey of discovering what Windows 7 entails or includes, trying and getting to know new features in Windows 7, not knowing how to do some things on Windows 7 and finding them out later yourself true trial and error or finding them out by searching on the web or asking people. So for me it’s going to be a whole new exciting journey :).
