We are seeing good momentum with Windows 8 today. When upgrading from Windows 7, Windows 8 has a lot to offer including a beautiful new Start screen with live tiles, plus the familiar desktop and faster startup and longer battery life. Today I’d like to share the pricing details for the Windows 8 upgrade editions that will begin in February. I’d also remind you to take advantage of the great upgrade offer which lasts until January 31st 2013.
Windows 8 upgrade editions (see which edition is right for you here) will be priced as follows starting in February:

The Windows 8 Pro upgrade edition will be available online and at retail for $199.99 MSRP (U.S.).

The Windows 8 upgrade edition will be available online and at retail for $119.99 MSRP (U.S.).

The Windows 8 Pro Pack will cost $99.99 MSRP (U.S.).

The Windows 8 Media Center Pack will cost $9.99 MSRP (U.S.).

Yeah....if I were to buy it (I didn't, thanks MSDN), I would do it before this.

Those prices aren't really insane, but when you consider how controversial (and largely redundant) Windows 8 is, they are outlandish.

I have been offered to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8 Pro for $40 if I do it before Feb 1st.

Good deal or not? Redundant or not?
