I dunno--that seems like about what Windows 8 is worth...$14.99.
But they should throw the computer in for free with it to really make it worthwhile.

I serious need to get a new computer, something to handle recent and new games, but Microsoft couldn't pay me enough to get Metro 8, because it simply isn't a desktop OS. I will get Windows 7 long before I ever even consider Metro 8 at this point.
The word "upgrade" should always be spelled with quotes when talking about Win8.
"Upgrade"
Win 8... an upgrade?????
Hmmm, what's the word for that? Oxymoron? Misnomer? Irony?
Nope, it's 'blatant f**ken lie'.
Orright, that's 3 words, but the pretty much sums it up.
I don't think Winky is happy about 8.
I heard these "workarounds" dont work in the latest preview version anymore.
I don't got money for a new PC, so it don't matter much to me. Now if it was $14.99 INCLUDING the new PC, then I might consider. Heck, I might even use it if it included a new PC. With enough RAM. With a good video card. With a big enough hard drive.
Naw. Win 7 box looks like it has gone through h**** with its missing and worn off keys and grumpy drives, but I know what it will do in any situation.
lol @ Doc.
Don't forget about your Eyes having to look at Metro
<-- Protective Eyewear It filters out 8 {Metro}
Ditto
It'd take a lot more than a pair of sunnies to filter out that eyesore... and I don't fancy the alternative.
