Microsoft is trying to make the Windows 8 upgrade more tempting by cutting the upgrade price and throwing in Media Center, too.
Those with Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 will qualify for an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99 in 131 markets, Microsoft said today.
And Media Center can be added “for free” through the “add features” option within Windows 8 Pro after the upgrade, according to Microsoft.
That might not seem like much but Microsoft said previously that Media Center must be “acquired” via “Add Features to Windows 8″ and that Media Center Pack pricing would be “in line with marginal costs.”
