    Avinash can you tell me how Aero is in Windows8. Can it be turned off?. Looking at the screenshots at various places like PC World and engadget I can still see transparency present in Windows 8.

    Aero is good and can be disabled. You wont find any difference between Aero of Windows 7 and Windows 8 though.

    If you buy a qualified Windows 7 PC between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013, you may purchase a download of Windows 8 Pro at a special promotional price that varies by region.

    According to Digit,
    Microsoft Corp. India Private Limited has announced a new Windows 8 upgrade offer for consumers who purchase a new laptop or desktop PC with a brand new copy of original Windows 7. If you buy a PC with original versions of Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate which includes a matching and valid OEM Certificate of Authenticity (COA), then Indian consumers are entitled to a downloadable upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for a price of just Rs. 699.

    I think its still there because MS doesn't want to reveal the final design. Its already decided that there will be no Aero on Windows 8. A quick google search on this might give you more info.

    Yes I am aware of these announcements. But I am still not sure unless its gone in final version. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    May be they can bring something better with a new name, who knows.
