Title says it all really, except that it covers upgrades from pre release versions:

"To install Windows 8 Pro, customers must be running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Consumer Preview, or Windows 8 Release Preview"

I snagged it when it was an upgrade for £25

Desperate times.

Full retail version of Win8 should be £30 and £40 for Pro.

especially if they want you to replace it it every 2-3 years.

Windows is good value even at full price.

I bought four copies @ £14.99 each, with the free media pack. So I am happy with that price, albeit Windows 7x64 seemed to do fine with what I needed it for.

Hopefully the reduction in price might help with this....

Yeah seems the £14.99 upgrade offers from MS have all but dried up end of February...and no more £29.99 offers from MS.

Prices atm seem £45-50 which is not good considering the special offer.... indeed was a good idea to buy it when it was still possible ! wish I did a few weeks ago....
