Below is a direct quote published by World Start Tech Tips Premium. I think some of you just may be interested in what it has to say.
Windows announced this past Monday that the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro will cost only $40. This applies to any Windows user running XP or newer. This is a significant announcement since past upgrades have cost much more than $40. Upgrading to Windows 7 from an older version cost $120, while upgrading from one version of 7 to the other cost $65.
The $40 upgrade fee is a promotion and will only last until the end of January 2013 once Windows 8 is released, which will be this fall. The upgrade also requires that users download the Windows 8. Not wanting to wait around or have a slow connection? An upgrade version on DVD will be available for $70 during the promotion. Each option is making it more affordable than past upgrades.
Windows made no mention about the general, non-promotional pricing for Windows 8.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!
