Vista costs in UK

Hi
anyone got any ideas as to how much vista will retail at in the UK?
Asking as I've noticed scan are selling XP MCE 2005 with a free upgrade when
vista is released, so trying to figure out if I'm cheaper to go this route
or buy vista as a full version.
Thanks
B

There is an interesting thread in uk.comp.homebuilt on this, starts with
message <1fkaq25qm77is2m2a21clf6lr3qk4ng58b@4ax.com>.

Somebody bought XP MCE with an upgrade voucher from www.ebuyer.co.uk and
MS are refusing to honour it.

It's carried by all the main servers, certainly news.individual.net has
it.

Bit technical for me, the headers are:

Hi,
one more question if I go the route of buying media center and then get the
free upgrade to vista do I need to install vista immediately or can I keep
the upgrade until I feel I need to install vista.

Thanks again.
