Would that be if upgrading from windows 7?
If so that may tempt a few people who perhaps wouldn't upgrade.
Was expecting it to be more than that.

For £20 I will keep my windows 7 installation and dual boot with windows 8 to try it out.
Seriously hope that correct as no way will I pay full price for windows 8 when I use my iPad more than my desktop system now.

This has been discussed before, you are a little bit late.

So it has been discussed before, does that mean it can't be discussed again ever by anyone?
Why bother posting something so negative and unhelpful.

Nothing a matter with discussing it again but what else can be said about an upgrade costing £20.00. There isn't much to say except uhm it's £20.00.
Ayes it is £20, i dont see a reason in spending £1 on a O/S that i wont ever need.
You can't dual boot the £20 upgrade to windows 8. As I believe, it will upgrade your current win 7, from its online upgrade files.

At £20 how can anyone resist. There are quite a few speed advantages as well as some useful tools - even ignoring Metro, which I shall do!

Upgrade your current Windows 7 install to Windows 8. Then use your existing Windows 7 disc to dual boot that?
Don't know if that will work and It's a massive hassle but It may be possible

Wasn't the upgrade offer only if you purchased you pc/win 7 in a certain timeframe?

Yes and no. The upgrade offer for everyone was $40 which, thankfully doesn't equate to £40 any more. The upgrade for recent purchases was £15 I think.
