The introduction of Windows Vista will have an immediate impact on the investment that is required to build a PC. The often discussed memory upgrade that is required to achieve a decent Windows Vista experience, will increase the bill of materials by about 20%, market research firm iSuppli estimates in a report released today.

Very true. But technology is growing rapidly. Chips are becoming smaller, more powerful and more efficient. One of the best example is from Intel. Intel core 2 Duo, which is BIG answer to AMD. I understand it is expensive, but with time it will become cheaper. Similarly it is now the case with OS.

This high pricing strategy by microsoft wont help it reduce piracy in the world....

^^ But the cost is unacceptable buddy
If they would have fixed Vista Ultimate @ 10K it would have been a good bargain
