    I would say they are trying out a different marketing model

    Vista sales were so crap over here they have to think of something new.

    1. MS pretty much have the new domestic computer systems' OSes sewn up.
    2. They need to persuade business users to migrate. Not that easy in a recession?

    If they can sell a decent product to "early adopters" to upgrade their systems, they stand a chance of getting word of mouth recommendations?

    With Vista, you could pick it up here for those kind of prices, but only after it had bombed.
