@Bala Check this article --> You can Upgrade Your Pirated Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99
I wanted to know if Windows 8 requested for a win7 key. And for 1999 i would better upgrade my genuine xp to be on safer side.
I have the discount codes but I think it is better if I trial Windows 8 first. I have a few programs that may not comply with Windows 8 due to updates given on major version or the lack of recent release yet. Granted, each company may have their own development pace so I can't expect too much for them to keep up with Microsoft. So, Avinash or Ashwin, would you please send me a PM which contains download link to Windows 8 setup?
The way you are asking has made me wonder if you are using a pirated copy of Windows 7? :pirate:
Anyone has idea if we get Virtual PC for Win8 pro? I need to have a virtual xp install for Turbo C. I use eclipse personally but need to know how to use TC debugger as practicals for boards has to be done on TC.

Bonus hint:- Try searching for digital river download links for Windows 8 in mydigitallife forums. I am not posting those links here.
Can hardly believe that this is the same computer which used to run XP 4 years ago. :p
It's simply superb and I am enjoying the crispness :cool:
Here's my desktop

That's the classic desktop, right? It looks similar to win 7. And I don't see an AV icon, just zemana and MBAM :ohwell:
What about the new interface, do you like it?
Ash has an hidden AV on his PC. lol jokes apart i feel something amiss when I dont see the start button. Ash can you post a screenshot along with start button.
Cosme did u upgrade?
Microsoft had fixed the Rs. 699/ $14 upgrade loophole according to this article.
Any idea when the retail copies are available in India?

All the reputed AVs support Windows 8 so don't worry about those. I suspect Ashwin is using KIS 2013.
Everyone are concerned about my PC's security? :lol:
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2013, ok here's a screenie.
As Bala requested, it is without the Start button and shows the K icon as Cosme wanted :p

Cosme asked me if I liked the new interface?
I love the new interface :D Metro UI is too good, since I use 1366x768 on an 18.5 inch wide LCD. It's like in HD. Superb clarity.
