    Last Tuesday, in a blog post on Microsoft's Windows.com website, Senior Marketing Communications Manager Brandon LeBlanc announced Microsoft's Pricing and Packaging for Windows 8.1.

    For existing Windows 8 users all things remain the same: Windows 8.1 will be a free update via an easy download from the Windows Store starting on October 18th*.

    A new copy of Windows 8.1, either as a download from Windows.com or at your local store as a retail packaged DVD product will be available for $119.99 ERP (U.S.) and Windows 8.1 Pro will be available for $199.99 ERP (U.S.).

    I wonder if it would be a waste of time to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 / 8.1?

    Microsoft usually has some good deals for college students. I purchased Office 2007 Ultimate for only 69.00 through a program called the Ultimate Steal, but that was in 2008.

    That's hard to beat for 69.00 (Windows 8 upgrade). Good thing MS is still giving students a break.

    Can this "update" from the Windows store be saved and burned to DVD? or does anyone know yet?

    Since it's coming from the "Store" then yes, you can make a DVD....

    Thanks Steve... I thought I could, but wasn't sure considering it was being called an Update....
