Microsoft will reduce the price of their Windows Vista operating systems when SP1 is officially released.

The full version of Ultimate will be priced at $319 which is $80 cheaper than the current price. The Home Premium upgrade version is now only $129.

According to the article at PC World, Microsoft says that the result of their research showed that a reduced cost of Vista would get the attention of more users, specifically, those who are not geeks and early adopters.

The article also noted that this news does not affect the price of today’s computers with Vista in it.
