The pricing was just announced and Windows 7 will be available on October 22.

Regular prices are as follows:
Home Premium $199.99
Professional $299.99
Ultimate $319.99

Price looks expensive but you can pre-order a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for $49 and a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $99 (Estimated retail price).

Benchmark tests have been made comparing Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3. You can check the test results here and here.

The test results suggest that Windows 7 is better than Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3 respectively. This is something that would probably make current Windows XP users to switch to a newer OS. However, would they switch because of the price considering the current economic condition?
