Wow, it's only been out a few months. I wonder if we wait a few more months, will it be free? :)

I wouldn't buy Windows 8 even if it were priced at a mindblowing $0.01.

Hi there
PLEASE BE ACCURATE -- the rebate is only valid ON ANOTHER PURCHASE --this type of advertising is akin to sneakerware or suckerware.

It *Could* be OK if you need or want to make a second purchase - but if you just want to buy Windows then the basic 70 USD applies (69.99).

It's like those governments saying -- we will subsidise your power bills -- so we will give you 50% off the price of decent insulation -- but if you can't afford the energy bills in the first place this type of offer does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce the bills you are getting NOW - so you certainly couldn't afford to accept the offer in the first place.

However the spin doctors will gleefully announce (especially just before elections) "We are reducing your Energy costs" -- as always to those who can afford the often quite large layouts to pay for even 50% of the work.

If you need to buy a second product - go ahead -- but I rather dislike this type of advertising -- rather like 2 for one in a supermarket (BOGOFF - Buy One Get One For Free) - often leading to waste -- why not just cut the price of the original article by say 25% for a while.

P'SSST (don't tell everybody but I hear there's a good deal on FERRARI's at the moment -- if you purchase 2 you might get a Landrover thrown in for free. !!).

Cheers
