Damn good price for Win8 Pro upgrade. Amazon's was $70 and a store credit of $30.
By Golly, I think you're right...
I wonder if I could try to get this offer in store and then use the 20% off $taples coupon code from earlier today.
My copy of Windows 8 doesn't work. I keep touching the monitor screen but nothing happens. Darn Microsoft.
#4 Maybe your monitor is too old to be touched.
Out of bits, er, stock.
Microcenter offering it for $38.88 in-store pickup only. Out of stock as well.

BenKat, you need to go into the "start button" and set the monitor to "touch screen"
Or get it for $15 from here:
https://windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-US
The $15 offer requires the purchase of a new Win 7 PC.
As long as you have a windows PC running Win 7 it will work. Just choose a date that you "purchased" your "new" pc between June and now and it works fine.
snazzy
Sign up for Technet and get all you can eat Microsoft.
^ Interesting program. What kind of verification do they conduct on their enrollees. Can anyone fill out the registration in a manner that meets requirements and get accepted?
Thanks bclinton - I just ordered up the standard Technet edition.
Goob - I had no issue establishing a Technet account here (keep in mind I haven't received/activated the Technet subscription yet):

Does your Windows 7 install need to have a registered key, I am on the 30day trial.... or can you install Windows 8 without a Windows 7 install?
->Goob - as far as I know they do not check anything. I signed up with MS and paid about $25 more than buying it from Tiger Direct but with MS you dont have to wait. I immediately had access to all the keys. If you have many machines it makes sense. You can evaluate all the MS stuff.
