Wow!!! Windows is upgrading their customers who buy a Windows 7 PC between June 2nd 2012 through January 31, 2013 to Windows 8 Pro for just $14.99.  Let the Battle begin!!!  On the heels of the Apple rumored release of new devices to be revealed in the coming week, Microsoft has taken the first step in the fight for King of the Hill.  Complete sidebar I could not get to the Microsoft Upgrade site from Safari so word to the wise download another browser (Chrome, FireFox, or Explorer) before checking this out. (Spiteful!)

Yes, Windows is planning to combat Apple and their over throw of the PC users.  The new marketing campaign for Windows to all of their, soon to be, buyers will include the following as of right now.  For any Windows PC purshased between Saturday June 2nd 2012 to January 31, 2013…wait for it…you will be able to upgrade to the long awaited, much anticipated Windows 8 Pro for just $14.99.  This was just released.  You may be limited on how many computers can be purchased at once, but I am sure each unit will be allowed this very beautifully priced update.

Keep in mind the press review of the Windows 8 OS is available but the actual OS is not ready just yet. This deal may not deter any Appleheads but may give those considering a new low budget computer something else to chew on.  We have been reporting how Microsoft is cutting deals left and right but this may be one of the best, well placed marketing tactics just yet.  Go into your neighborhood computer retailer selling Windows computers and step up to Windows 7 knowing that you will be able to move into Windows 8 Pro courtesy of Microsoft.
