Upgrading to Windows 8 in India

[Sushubh]

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows...

Would Windows 8 go on sale online at midnight tonight? Or American time?

Microsoft has already started selling licenses in Australia!

Awwww, you poor desperate saps 😀 I got to play with Win8 on RTM day itself, thanks to my MSDN subscription 😀

grrr. actually some folks on the forum paid 300 rupees for a license. powered by the dreamspark thing that is open to students 😀

Dude, then why not just get the official Win8 Enterprise edition free evaluation copy??? You can always get a key online later on from the comfort of your chair 😀

 

[Sushubh]

i have no idea why i am not interested in experimenting :\ just want to take the regular route. :\ probably old age.

 

[vishalrao]

get a key online

Of course, I meant an official key purchased from MS or a reseller 😀 I am NOT a pirate!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr me mateys 😀

@Sushubh: Kuch samjha nahi. Can you explain it in short please?How much will I have to spent to buy the license?

 

[Sushubh]

i mean. i did not even install the consumer preview and release preview. did not want to mess up my current install. do not have a spare machine at home. and microsoft india guys call me a pirate whenever i call them to activate by retail copy 🤔--errm. that thread has all the details you want to know :\

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

Registering there now. Can't see attachments without registering so can't understand much.

heh yea I remember that one, funny 😀

 

[Sushubh]

that is the primary reason i want to avoid reinstall on my machine. hoping that the upgrade would work fine. and then reset feature would come handy. would have to deal with the same problem when i change major hardware on my desktop :\
