14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is continually updating the Windows Vista pricing details. And - as a consequence - there are now speculations according to which the Redmond Company will introduce a Vista Family Pack discount when the operating system ships to the general public on January 30, 2007.
According to independent sources, the Redmond Company will deliver clarifications related to the availability and details of the Windows Vista Family Pack discount over the upcoming days, as the operating system's customer launch is 13 days away, at the time of this article.
As of yet, Microsoft has failed to either conform or deny the speculations, or to offer any insight on the possibility of the discount.

Although the actual discount amount is still to be confirmed by the Redmond Company, speculations say that the price of Vista Home Premium will range from $50 to $100 a pop.
