Euro Pricing for Windows 7 already available?
A friend on Twitter posted a link to an interesting table which list alleged prices for Windows 7 SKU’s. The German website Windows Secrets from which they originate goes into detail about each SKU.

What I find strange is the pricing for Windows 7 Starter Edition which is suppose to be the cost effective solution for emerging markets.
