The new operating system by Microsoft – the Windows 8, is
being offered for only handful bucks of Rs. 1,999. With the price tag of not
even Rs. 2,000, Microsoft is trying to target the tens of thousands of people
who are either eager or curious to lay their hands on the new OS.
If you are aspiring to buy a licensed copy of the OS, then you have time until January 31, 2013. That is the deadline Microsoft has given to the potential buyers. An upgrade DVD is also available that comes at Rs. 3,499. However, if you have purchased the Windows 7 after June this year, you will get an upgrade at only Rs. 699.
The US based company is looking forward to gaining a
reasonable amount of customers through the low-priced edition. However, this
discount on the price is short-lived. No one should take for granted that the
price tag of Rs. 1,999 is the cost of the operating system for ever. The
original price of the Windows 8 is a whopping Rs. 11,999.

These are all strong measures the company has taken to boost
their sales as there are free open-source platforms available as well. So it
was a tricky situation for Microsoft to balance things. It seems Windows 8 is
the key here.
