Microsoft (Finally!) Decides To Cut Vista Prices

The fact that only 10 percent of all licenses of Vista are sold as retail boxes says a lot, and the decision to cut prices is a smart move, in my opinion. Microsoft announced plans to lower retail prices in no less than 70 countries, at the same time as Vista's Service Pack 1 arrives on the market.
According to Brad Brooks, Microsoft corporate vice president, "We anticipate these changes will provide greater opportunities ... to sell more stand-alone copies of Windows.", but if Service Pack 1 doesn't live up to everyone's expectations, he may just as well be wrong.
The price cuts should go as it follows - Windows Vista Ultimate, from $399 to $319, Ultimate's "upgrade" price from $259 to $219(for those upgrading from XP or any other Vista version) and Vista Home Premium, from $159 to $129. So...what do you think about it? Still hanging around with your good old Windows XP, or not?
