Microsoft is currently offering an offer for individuals who have purchase a Windows 7 (any edition except starter) computer between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013 the chance to purchase a full copy of Windows 8 Professional for $15.00.
There are several nice aspects of this deal in compared to previous releases. This release, the offer is completely executed by Microsoft. Therefore, you do not have to work with the computer manufacturer to get your copy. Secondly, this is a direct download, but a media copy of the operating system can be purchased for a minimal additional cost. If you do purchase a Windows 7, please be sure to grab your receipt and go to the Microsoft Windows Upgrade Offer.
An additional nice feature is that you do not have to install Windows 8 on the computer that you purchased between June 2, 2012. If you don’t wish to use Windows 8 but wish to gift it to someone you know, you can. Once the operating system has been downloaded, it is then attached to the serial number of the computer installed on. Fortunately, any computer that is Windows 7 certified will be able to run Windows 8. Lastly, you do receive 90 days of Microsoft Technical support with this upgrade offer.
If you are holding off to purchase a new computer waiting for Windows 8 to come out, there really is not any reason to do so now.
