"that Microsoft had announced the price of the Windows 98 upgrade... it's $109 retail - the exact same price as Windows 95." Does the word "retail" not suggest "street"? To me it does. Ok THIS is my last attempt to educate you, this is probably going to be very difficult for you to understand, but please try.... Microsoft does not, and can not, ANNOUNCE "street prices"..... they only ANNOUNCE suggested retail prices. If you can learn this maybe we'll try to move on to something more complex (but I'm not hopeful). Gee that must mean that the "street" (reseller) sets the final selling price... maybe that's why they call it the "street price".... hmmmm, could be.
