Lbox88 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 There is an App called "Windows 8 Cheat Keys" and it shows tells you about all the short cut keys in windows 8. another thing how are they able to sell Windows 8 pro so cheap when past operating systems were so expensive. I paid about 4x the cost for windows 7. because they just added some shit to 7 and took some extra crap off to run/look better.

BassJunkie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 They can sell it so cheaply because they're banking on the fact that people will use their windows store to buy things. The same way google sells the nexus 7 for next to nothing and on some sales loses money, they make all their money on the play store. They were also able to convert a lot of users of pirated windows to paid users by offering such a low price. This price wont last long though, its just and introductory rate. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

Hotdog Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 That is why I jumped on it early to get the deep discount. Also for a short time you can get a free key for Windows Media center. I dont know the time frame but when it is over the cost of Media Center is $10.00 Go Here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ghtsn1p3r Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Upgraded mine last week through Microsoft for $40. Made my computer run hella smooth. There is a learning curve, but after a day or so you'll be used to it. That's what I did as well. But I upgraded my already bloated 7 install, so I've been having a few minor issues. I like "Metro" more now than I did back in the DP, CP, and RP releases, I guess since it's features are actually usable since the official launch.I've had no issues adjusting to Metro and the charms. That is why I jumped on it early to get the deep discount. Also for a short time you can get a free key for Windows Media center. I dont know the time frame but when it is over the cost of Media Center is $10.00 Go Here http://windows.micro...8/feature-packs Sucks that you HAVE to get it for DVDs to work. I snagged my free key as well. 2016 Ford Focus SE No build log yetDC Audio 1.2K2x DC Audio Level 2 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inm Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 $15 each?? care to share how? haha http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/ When it asks when you bought your system, just put in a date later than June 30th. NOTE: I'm not endorsing lying on that form. I built my desktop and bought my laptop both after June 30th, I'm just letting you know the cut off date.
