Well, the people who are most likely to upgrade their OS are the
ones who have recently bought a new one. A significant proportion
of XP users in this group are ones who had to buy a Vista license
in order to run XP, so the XP -> Win7 upgrade cost should not
apply to them.
As for the rest of the XP users who want to upgrade to Windows 7,
MS can't make the cost of the direct upgrade so expensive that people
will consider the option of combining an upgrade to Vista with a
Vista -> Win7 upgrade. I have no idea what any of those prices
are, though I'd expect that the cost of the intermediate upgrade
to Vista will fall like a meteor once Windows 7 is released.

The cheapo Win7 releases at Best Buy seem to be 50 and 100 for

The Apple upgrade is from any version and not for a crippled version
of the OS.
Since most people would be upgrading from XP and don't want
crippleware, what does a real upgrade cost?
