Just wondering cause judging from their website you can just download it and install it.
So is it free or do i have to pay?

It's free if you have Windows 8, if you have Windows 7 and down you'll have to pay.

You have to pay, unless you already have a Windows 8 (without the .1) license.

You can download the files so you can make a bootable installation DVD for free. You can then install Windows, but because you won't have a valid license you won't be able to activate it. After some time without activation Windows will cease to update, and your system will start to automatically turn off at random intervals (a DRM measure from Microsoft).
