It applies to other customers too using Windows XP or Vista.

If you are purchasing new Windows 8 PC then, you should be careful while selecting Windows 8 Edition. I am saying this because not all PCs come with Windows 8 PRO and you may be paying uselessly on basic edition. Though you can upgrade or downgrade Windows 8 edition easily but why not save money by purchasing correct version at first place.

For India however, it will be interesting to see how the pricing of Windows 8 will differ with currency conversion. Looking at the current scenario, I expect Windows 8 price in India not to get beyond Rs. 2500 at least during Promotional period (If Microsoft decides to do it).

I am waiting for online retailers like Flipkart to bring Windows 8 soon so that purchase becomes easy. Will you upgrade to Windows 8?

Upgrading for $39 is good offer.
But does that mean that after that my Windows 7 license key would become invalid ??

    If you upgrade from Windows 7, you will not loose your files. Ya its safe, and your computer wont be slow. You can buy it from microsoft site or search for torrents. Before downloading, if from torrent do read the comments that users have posted there.
