The Redmond-based OS giant confirmed that their loyal PC users will be able to upgrade their current supported (XP, Vista and Windows 7) OS to Windows 8 for only $39.99 or about Php1,680. This upgrade is noticeably cheaper as compared to the previous upgrade (XP or Vista to Windows 7) which costs $99 for Ultimate and $49 for Home Premium. Users who bought a new Windows 7 PC starting June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013 will be able to upgrade to the new OS for only $14.99. This cheaper upgrade is definitely good news for Windows users around the world.
