微软正为所有当前有效的 Windows 用户提供以合理价格升级至 Metro 风格操作系统的机会。
这家位于雷德蒙德的操作系统巨头确认，其忠实的 PC 用户只需39.99 美元（约合1,680 比索），即可将当前受支持的（XP、Vista 和 Windows 7）操作系统升级至Windows 8。
此次升级价格明显低于之前的升级（从 XP 或 Vista 升级到 Windows 7），后者 Ultimate 版售价 99 美元，Home Premium 版售价 49 美元。此外，微软还为早期采用者提供另一项大幅折扣：在 2012 年 6 月 2 日 至 2013 年 1 月 31 日 期间购买新 Windows 7 PC 的用户，仅需 14.99 美元 即可升级至新操作系统。
这次更便宜的升级对全球 Windows 用户来说无疑是好消息。我们认为，价格下调将减少甚至阻止非法操作系统的使用。但事实果真如此吗？我们想知道，此次升级的价格是否足以让您选择正版升级，还是您更愿意选择更便宜但不太合规的升级方式？

Good news. Pwede kaya dual booth?
It is much better stick to the OS you are comfortable of using for now. Let’s just wait for the reviews or the pros and cons of using Windows8 over the established Windows7 OS.
I haven’t tried or seen tablets/laptops with Windows 8 pa, kaya I dont know how the UI works. Pero medyo ok na ako sa windows 7 eh, at nagagandahan na ako sa kanya, pati sa mga shortcuts na available sa OS na yun.
I will watch videos sa youtube kung ok ba talaga ang Windows 8, at kung inde naman pala ganun kamahal, baka mag upgrade na din ako.. sana lang they have the Japanese OS na para maging compatible sa pc ko..
I’m sticking with Windows 7. Seems it’s becoming the most dominant OS, one worthy of replacing XP.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Windows 8 is more faster than Windows 7. The downside is I hate the metro ui bacause my netbook is not touch screen and it has only 1024×600. But apart from that its cool.
Faster na, more pa. San ka pa! =)))

Sorry, but you’re doing it wrong if you multitask using the start menu.
Trend showed that people were just clicking on the start menu, then just typing the program they want to get it. People were no longer hovering folders to folders to get the program they want.
If you’re thinking about multitasking, the desktop and taskbar are still there. So no worries, bud.
Nah, kung yung $0.99 na magagandang apps or magagandang kanta sa itunes pinapirate pa ng mga pinoy what more yung $15?
Ang pinoy gusto lagi libre.
will there be compatibility issues kaya sa software that is already installed if I upgraded with this windows 8? currently im in windows 7.
No, thanks! I’ll keep my Windows 7 on my desktop. I just think Windows 8 is better for tablets like surface but not for desktops.
Windows has always been a great OS that it’s only fair to get an authentic one always. I’m just not sure yet if 8 is better than 7, and how much adjustment I’d need.
nice but i think marketing strat lang to ng microsoft kasi alam nilang di ganun karami ang maguupgrade to win8 dahil sa pagtangal ng start sa win8 favoring metro ui… for me, parang ang hirap mag multitask ang metro ui vs start menu…
Pwede mo pa rin naman i disable ang Metro themed na Start Screen.
i just realized i have oems of winxp. i’m sure only boxed set are supported for the upgrade.
authentic & illegal copy – same features :)
you might be right…
but I’m going to be proud to bring my laptop with a genuine copy of Windows ANY GIVEN SUNDAY! (day-off ko yun e ;D)
authentic & illegal copy – same features. :)
Authentic is always better than an illegal copy!
Watch out we have a grammar nazi here!!!
since the cost is either 15$ and 40$ only you shouldnt use the phrase between – to – in the title.
never use “and” whenever u use either. it’s either – or – . so in this case, it’s “either $15 OR $40” . :)
what i love about yugatech is it’s open to criticism. hindi finifilter ang mga comments kahit sabihin na nating pwedeng makasira sa nagsulat.
di tulad ng isang blogger dyan na sinabihan ko lang na ang way of writing niya ay parang pang-showbiz, bi-nan nako sa blog niya.
On topic, this is good for current Windows users.
Off topic. Since poche, your post is a sentence. You should capitalize the word “Since” including your name. You should also put U.S. in $, put $ in front and include at least two decimal values. You should put also apostrophe in ‘shouldnt’. You should not visit this site because this is not a grammar blog. Peace :)
I really don’t like this grammar Nazis.
Lol. Nice one AndrewC.
I hope Abe turns the comment stream as a social plugin in facebook like what other tech blogsites did on their page. It would be more interacting and fun.
available ba yan dito? i’d be ready to hop in. kaso tatakbo kaya sa netbook ko yung windows 8? O.o
