&lt;p&gt;And no articles about Windows 7 pricing, either. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Judged negative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=619&amp;amp;pgno=5#pricing&quot;&gt;Malaysian website&lt;/a&gt; that has correctly predicted Microsoft product announcements in the past claims Microsoft will &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2009/05/21/report-microsoft-reveal-window-7-prices-june&quot;&gt;publicly announce prices for Windows 7 in mid-June.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft has already discussed what &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2009/02/03/windows-7-skus-be-simpler-vistas-not-really-simple&quot;&gt;versions of Windows 7&lt;/a&gt; will be available to customers, and the company says the operating system &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2009/05/12/windows-7-holidays-here-microsofts-game-plan&quot;&gt;will become available&lt;/a&gt; &amp;quot;in time for the holiday shopping season.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prediction: &lt;/b&gt;Microsoft will announce the prices of at least two versions of Windows 7 on or before June 19, 2009. The prices must be described in a press release or come from a quote from a named Microsoft executive in a news article or official Microsoft blog post. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Related prediction: &lt;a href=&quot;/predictions/windows-7-home-premium-retails-139-or-less&quot;&gt;Windows 7 Home Premium retails for $139 or less&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;/p&gt;
