Vista Pricing

I think so. Since Alan, MSFT put it on their Canadian site probably
inadvertantly and then pulled it off.

No prices on the Canadian site though.

Kyle;
Are you a Technical Beta tester or a participant of the Customer Preview
Program (CPP)?
Since you are asking in these public newsgroups, you are probably
participating in the CPP.

In either case, the answer is the same.
Only Microsoft knows and for now they are not saying.
In the past some Technical Beta participants get the product they were
testing while CPP participants may get a certificate of thanks.

But nothing was promised to either group and nothing is what should be
expected.
