Unless they force people to upgrade to providing some killer feature, I am happy with Windows 7 Pro. Gaming performance is equal somewhat across the board with Windows 7 pulling slightly ahead so there really is not a good reason for gamers to upgrade.

Microsoft don't care anymore about gaming pc. They only interesting in tablets, phone etc.

That Media Pack upgrade is still free, I just got mine.
I've seen your username on multiple posts for about 3 minutes, and every post you've made has been sensationalist or misinformation. Please think about what you type
I have to disagree. Windows 8 is better than 7 it builds on what was good and improves it. It also costs less than a few cars in Forza or a map pack for BF3 and for the true gaming Geek gives hours of fiddle time..
Well worth the upgrade if you ask me.....

I knowI just submit four more from 4 different email address. So, I probably get total of 8 keys.

The hypocrite.
When I use the code, does it stay with my hotmail account or what? I have a tablet and PC both with W8 Pro.

They were just delayed and I've got my keys.
Just so I understand: you can download Windows 8 pro upgrade from MS website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/buy) for $39.99.
For some stupid freakin reason, Windows Media Centre is only available on Enterprise version (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions#Comparison_chart), but you can get the feature pack for free until 31 Jan 2012 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs).
So, basically, Windows 8 Pro + Media Centre is $39.99.
Is that right?

I just upgraded without really looking into it, I thought for £25 you can't go wrong. But I'm like a lost soul.
There's not even a start menu. I can't find an easy way to change your default installation folder.
On the positive, I didn't think I would ever say this but IE is working well so far.

Well ive bought it and tried it. It's not bad once you tweak it
Tweak it so it more like Windows 7?
I wish the Touch pad would hurry up and launch.

Oh yeah im a sheep, wiggles Ass.
No, tweaked for my SSD drive, changed colour and position of stuff. Sure I stick start button on desktop but that's only because its useful.
Metro isn't all bad. Just needs refining.
