Windows 8 upgrade

[neilc]

Hello,
I'm building a new system running Widows 7 Ultimate. I don't reckon I qualify for a cheap upgrade, is there any news on what the upgrade and full price will be?
Regards, NeilC

If you update through the anytime upgrade server in the start menu you will get the upgrade discount it will only be 40 dollars for a few months.

i feel like it would be a downgrade for you though. It will be an upgrade to windows 8 pro. i do not know if they will be coming out with windows 8 ultimate, but i imagine they would

What I'm wondering is whether to buy just a basic Win 7 Home version, saving a fair bit of money over Ultimate, then upgrading to Win 8 Pro when it launches.
