Windows 8 Pro will be launched for $69.99. The OS will be priced at $199 after the promotional price expires on January 31st 2013. Microsoft will also offer a Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro upgrade option at retail stores for $69.99 until January 31st when the price reverts to $99.99.
Microsoft previously announced its $39.99 Windows 8 Pro upgrade pricing for existing Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 users — a price available exclusively online for those wishing to download the software without a DVD option. Retailers will stock a $69.99 Windows 8 Pro option in stores, one that may be offered as a traditional full version of Windows for those without a previous copy. Both the Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8 Pro copies will be made available from retailers on October 26th.

That's a beautiful screenshot 
That pricing is fine - $199 is alot of value given it's Windows. Honestly though, i'd get Windows 8 with new hardware. Period.
I'm no longer going to build my own systems with Windows 8. Lenovo has some f****** amazing all-in-one PCs that are better worth my money than if I were to build my own system.
That is the sex!

I hope they create a Windows 8 model. If they do, it's game over for my wallet I guess. :/

That would be a great machine if only it was not using Unity.Why the job in price? I'm sooo confused right now.

It's full version for $70 that doesn't require any previous Windows installed.I'm confused as well. So for $70 during this promotional period, we could get a full version of Windows 8 Pro? Or is it an upgrade version that requires I have a prior version of Windows installed?
