    Do you have a link for this? Was this from Microsoft iteself, or just someone guessing? It's kind of hard to believe they are going to be charging that much.

      Well, I get my copy as part of the MSDN sub, but I was thinking more from a general perspective.

      Actually, that is licensed just for development correct? You could not say, play a game on it unless you were researching for game development. Nor could you right a love story to publish as it is not covered under the license. The licenses to the MSDN packages have been so misunderstood (I know I did not understand them). In 1999 I was working at a place with 25 developers on staff and they had three MSDN subscriptions as they believed each covered 10 developers. Then in 2000-2003 I worked at a place that had one subscritpion for us five developers and two office staff people (MS Office and OS's). I think most people now understand how limited the license is, but I am sure there are still some that have no clue..

        Is it an acciedental or 'wanted' leak of information?? Why should a site prepare for pricing information when the OS is still in pre-RC stage. I guess MS wanted to check the price-reaction at this rate. So that they can tage the pricing accordingly!!!!

          Yep, the OSes are provided for development purposes. But I don't think there's a restriction on checking email on your dev-laptop - even if it's personal email, or using Office. Not sure of installing and playing games though.
