MS is trying to kill piracy... The upgarde offer is meant for genuine win7/XP machines but there is no verification for that too

Good! work by mircrosoft but why they are taking 2k rupees who purchased their product before 2 june ? How can I purchase it for 699? I purchased my laptop november last year.

problem with that is, they may ask for a scan copy of ur purchase bill.
and if they later unauthorize the key?

Even if u have pirated xp/vista/7 they let u upgrade to windows 8. That's how they wanted to kill piracy.
its impossible to kill piracy we can only reduce it...

I remember a few people mentioning it to me that this 699 works with old computers as well. But don't remember who has done it.

haha not funny! the question is - Will the microsoft ask for receipt of my laptop or not?
If not I would mark fake purchase of june 2012 and enjoy windows 8 pro for just 699 bucks.
where? try to think buddy and give me link.

The thing is that I have been following 3 tech forums for answering my question of dual OS of win 7 and 8 and I just don't remember where I read it. But I am very sure I read that a guy who bought his laptop 2 years back was successful in installing win 8 using the 699 offer.
Just try one thing, register and try to get a redemption code for the offer. If you are successful in getting the code then surely the offer will work for your laptop.

How can microsoft ask for receipt of laptop? Lakhs and crores of people would be upgrading worldwide. There is no way to track or verify. Just enter any date and get the redemption code. Once you make the payment you will get the key. After the download is complete you can install windows 8 on any computer irrespective of how or when you purchased it. Just make a dvd or usb and its like any other OS dvd that you get in the market
