just bought a new laptop with windows 7.......nice to see the upgrade offer for just Rs699......is windows 8 worth upgrading or better to stay with windows 7?

You can still use windows consumer 8 preview to know if its a worthy upgrade. Definitely using it on touch device is fun but on desktop, when I was trying it out, I constantly felt that I should have touch monitor.. else there is no fun !

Is windows 8 good for desktops too?I mean if you dont have a tough screen?

^^^ I guess you mean "touchscreen". Well yeah, for non-touchscreens, mouse and keyboard does the job.

And well about the prices, Microsoft's OS life is on stake with this OS, so if they dont put it in quite affordable range, their market would surely get in question. Thats why they are playing it easily so that they can maintain their reputation. Also, since they will be rolling out win 8 for all 3 devices, viz mobile, tablet and laptop, they can surely get enough profit by lowering the price and maintaining single platform for all.

Is this $40 upgrade offer available to those who are using the "unpaid" version of windows currently?

 

[icebags]

windows 8 has any other changes from windows 7, other than the stupid touchscreen interface ?
