Win8 Pro for $30

[paul1149]

NewEgg is running a $40 rebate on the upgrade edition of Win8 Professional. This brings it down to $30. I still haven't found a system I want to use this on, but I should get it anyway, and this is the right price.

It's only one rebate per customer/household/address.

I got all my copies for $15 each with that windowsupgradeoffer site.

For new computers only?

The $15 upgrade is for purchases after June 2, 2012 (think that date is correct) unless he took advantage of the stuff up during the first day or so where the upgrade site didn't check the validity of your entry and allowed anyone to take advantage of the offer.

Linux has the best upgrade offer at the moment - you can do it for free!

Yup! Was nice not having to validate. Saved me $75.

If you work for a large-ish company, talk to your IT department - they may be able to hook you up with special pricing that Microsoft offers to employees of their corporate clients. I don't know if this applies to operating systems, but I got Office 2010 for something like $10.
