Microsoft on Monday briefly posted pricing for Windows Vista on its Canadian Web site, giving an eye into what the company will charge for the new operating system.<\/p>\n

The posting indicated that the Home Basic edition of Windows Vista will be priced the same as Windows XP Home, at $233 ($259 Canadian). The Home Premium version<\/a>, which includes support for Media Center and tablet PC abilities will sell for 13 percent higher rate, a price that translates to about $269 in American dollars.<\/p>\n

The company said it would announce those prices when it ships the “Release Candidate 1” test version, due out by September.<\/p>\n
