Someone please tell me this is a mistake. Both the Win95 and Win98 upgrades cost about $90. Win2K is more than twice that? This almost has to be a mistake. *************************************************** Message 12582615 Has anyone seen the upgrade price for Win2K? Sheesh, it's not going to leave much for DRAM upgrades. I think this is the only area of computing that has seen hyperinflation. news.cnet.com. Excerpt: Microsoft is adopting a new pricing scheme for those that buy boxed copies or Windows 2000 licenses. The desktop version, Windows 2000 Professional, will sell for an estimated retail price of $319, the same as it is for Windows NT 4 Workstation. The upgrade price from Windows NT is $149 and $219 from Windows 95 or 98.**
