As Vista is nearing its release date, Microsoft has announced to increase its Customer Preview Program users to five million testers. All the members of CPP will receive their Code this week. Redmond Giant is also opening new enrollment to Customer Preview Program.

Microsoft has also provided some details on Vista’s Pricing:

  • Vista Home Basic: $99.95 for upgrade, $199 for the full version
  • Vista Home Premium: $159 for upgrade, $239 for the full version
  • Vista Ultimate: $259 for upgrade, $399 for the full version
  • Vista Business: $199 for upgrade, $299 for the full version
  • Vista Enterprise: available for Microsoft Volume license customers, and not available for retail purchase.

    Additionally, Readers of some selected World Wide Technology Magazines would receive DVDs from Microsoft.

    I’m not really convinced by Vista’s Pricing Structure. Vista Home Basic version must be similar to XP’s Starter Edition, which is highly stripped out version of XP
