Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for only $39.99!

[takemehomegrandma]

Windows-promotions on AO? What has the World come to?

:lol:

Well, since the thread is here anyway, I have a quad core I7 with fast (and enough) ram, a fast gfx card, etc system running Win7 today. For me, Win7 is working truly great. It's fast, and it's stable, and it runs everything I need in a very good way. Once I got settled with Win7, I have never looked back at XP. I also fail to see the need for "Metro" on my desktop. I really can't see the Unique Selling Point for Win8 to a happy Win7 user as myself?!

So, could anyone a little more educated than myself about the issue please tell me your top 5 reasons (in descending order) to why I should pick up on this offer of $39.99 Win8 upgrade?

Please fill in your arguments here:

So far, the reasons to upgrade are:

Supposedly faster/more stable
Metro, if you like it
No Metro, if you don't
eight is bigger than seven

You who have tested it - is it really faster than Windows 7? Mor stable? I myself perceive Win 7 to be quite fast already and certainly very stable.

I love the last one there, "eight is bigger than seven" :lol:. I'm sure I saw that in some movie...?
