In a move to expand their customer base by allowing users of pirated copies of their windows operating systems, Microsoft is offering their latest release for a mere 1999 rs! And most importantly it's the pro version and they do not check whether your previous installation is legit or not. Your system should have a windows installation. Not sure if it's only for windows 7 only or xp also is included. I'm not too happy with the OS, but I do like their marketing strategy to expand their customer base and bring more customers under their official umbrella. Anyone upgraded yet? Or planning an upgrade??
Are you sure there arent .. Basic Premium Pro Enterprise Super-Awesome-Special-Versions as well.. these always confuse the hell out of me.
XP & Vista are also included!!!! they have got an awesome strategy this time! Also if you have bought Win 7 after July then you can upgrade for Rs700.
there are a lot of M$ lovers out there, so NO. I think they can do any sham, but I ain't falling for the shiny metal they offer for buying my soul. No way Jose!
Windows 8 isn't all that bad. They did make a mistake by not having a start menu (Even optional). The learning curve is slightly steep if you are on a non-touch device, but it is pretty evident that MS have a vision in mind, unifying the interface on all MS based devices, and it ain't a bad one to be honest. I would suggest people to switch to Windows 8 and get Start8 to go with it. P.S: No Windows 8 is not the Vista after XP.
will give it a shot once I get back and am free.. So can I install other apps like before, or have to go thru the MS store for everything??
The steep learning curve is not tempting at all. I think the primary reason for installing a new OS is better means to an end, don't wanna follow a tutorial to do simple shit like checking email . Plus the email metro shit only works with hotmail! I don't want to switch over to something i dumped years ago.. it was sluggish as shit.
Ya, it is way better than the old one but the only thing i don't like of it is the themes. its needs more dark theme!!
