Here is my prediction:

Windows Vista Starter Edition - between 4-5K - since it is very basic edition like XP starter
Windows Vista Home Basic Edition - between 5-6K - since it is as good as XP Home so it should not cost much..
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition - between 7-8K - now this could replace curent XP pro so cost could be around 7500 or so
Windows Vista Professional Edition - between 8-10K - some extra features in XP pro should be around 9...

Windows Vista Small Business Edition - between 12-15K - now here comes the business series, basic OS for business
Windows Vista Enterprise Edition - between 15-18K - just a wild guess depending upon the features
Windows Vista Ultimate Edition - between 18-20K - this is a bomb from Microsoft, it will give free movies, music downloads and lot of things so it can be around 18 - 20K

I prefer with 6k.

I think it may take 1yr for the Windows Vista Professional Edition to come down to 5-6k.
