Microsoft revealed that Windows 8 will be available for the hardware makers in the month of August. While coming to the price of the OS, it will be available for 40 USD for the existing Windows OS users and it will easily upgrade able from the Microsoft's website. If you are using 7, Vista or XP then you can upgrade to Windows 8 pro with the help of Windows 8 upgrade assistant at only 39.99 USD. Sounds cool right??. :) And the most important part is you can also download Windows Media center for free using the additional tools option on Windows 8 upgrade assistant.

For non Microsoft product users, it will be available around 70 USD. The DVD's will be rolled out in the market around September 2012.


["A post on the Windows 8 blog explains which files and settings users will be able to bring with them, depending on the pervious version of the OS in question.
"It will ask you what you want to keep from your current Windows installation," the post reads.
"You will be able to upgrade from any consumer edition of Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and bring everything along which includes your Windows settings, personal files, and apps. If you are upgrading from Windows Vista, you will be able to bring along your Windows settings and personal files, and if you are upgrading from Windows XP you will only be able to bring along your personal files. Of course, if you want to start fresh, you can choose to bring nothing along."] -- TechRadar

So keep your fingers crossed atleast for Microsoft. :P
Hope it Windows 8 will just not be 'The upgraded version of Vists... LOL..: :)
