The posting indicates that the Home Basic edition of Windows Vista will be priced the same as Windows XP Home, at US$233 (S$367.79). The Home Premium version, which includes support for Media Center and tablet PC, abilities will sell for 13 percent higher rate, a price that translates to about US$269 (S$424.62).
The information that was posted on Microsoft's Canadian Web site suggests that the premium will be hefty indeed, with that version priced at US$449 (S$708.75).
"The thing about list prices for full versions is that no one pays them, anyway," Gartner analyst Michael Silver said. "Most people will get Vista as part of a new PC, and the price will be buried in with the cost of the hardware." (SOURCE)

Leo Laporte from TWIT advises though to wait for the official release of Vista so you can just buy brand hew hardware that comes bundled with it.
