a Home Premium Upgrade of an existing PC to Windows 7 will cost $199.

Professional Upgrade will cost $399 and the Ultimate Upgrade $429.

We always get ripped off.

It is affordable, it's practically the price of 2 console games (even less if you get them from EB) and will provide many more hours of use. If you don't want to pay for the upgrade then you shouldn't be using it, XP and Vista aren't going anywhere.

it is affordable? sure if your parents buy it for you or you have a job that pays $700 a week. low income earners cannot afford that rediculous price

Like I said, XP and Vista are still out there. I have been using them for years and I will most likely continue using them for many more years to come. You're confusing wants for needs.

I don't know about 'affordability' per se, but Home Premium should definitely be valued greater than 2 console games considering the number of hours and use you'll obtain from it in comparison.

Console games are over priced and are a rip off.
