When you use Windows.com to purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant makes upgrading simple by walking you through the upgrade process step-by-step from purchase to download and then of course installation.
The Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant will check to make sure your PC is ready for Windows 8. It will provide a detailed compatibility report that lets you know of anything you may have to address before or after the upgrade and outlines actions to take.
It will also inform you of any application or device compatibility issues. It will ask you what you want to keep from your current Windows installation. You will be able to upgrade from any consumer edition of Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and bring everything along which includes your Windows settings, personal files, and apps. If you are upgrading from Windows Vista, you will be able to bring along your Windows settings and personal files, and if you are upgrading from Windows XP you will only be able to bring along your personal files. Of course, if you want to start fresh, you can choose to bring nothing along. Or if you prefer to format your hard drive as part of your upgrade experience, you can do so as long as you boot from media and then format your hard drive from within the setup experience for installing Windows 8, not prior to it.
Once you purchase your upgrade, the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant kicks off your download. It has a built-in download manager that allows you to pause and continue your download at any time as well as a check to ensure your download completes successfully.
After your download finishes, you can choose to proceed with the upgrade (“Install now”) or install later either from your desktop or by creating your own media. If you choose to create your own media, you will be able to create your own bootable USB or .ISO file which can be burned onto a DVD for upgrade and backup purposes. If you prefer, you also have the option of purchasing a backup DVD for $15 plus shipping and handling.
We believe that your upgrade experience in Windows 8 will be a breeze by offering a faster experience, a single upgrade path, and compatibility from prior versions of Windows. We’ve continued to listen to our customers and have expanded the ability to download to over 100 countries and 37 languages. We have simplified the Windows upgrade experience with the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant which supports you during your upgrade with everything from selecting your language to pausing your download to built-in compatibility checks - it’s seamless. And if you’re an enthusiast you will have the flexibility to download and control how you upgrade.
If you prefer to shop at a local store, a packaged DVD version of the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro will be available for $69.99 during this promotion.
This upgrade promotion for Windows 8 Pro both online and at retail runs through January 31st, 2013.
We wanted to share information about this upgrade promotion with you as we continue to drive toward the RTM milestone for Windows 8. We will of course have more to say and more details to provide closer to general availability.
Oh, and by the way - if you’re not upgrading from a prior version of Windows and are building your own PC or installing Windows 8 in a virtual machine or a separate partition, you will be able to purchase and install the Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder product.

I read there was some registry values that you changed in the betas and you got start menu back. Then MS removed those values... Why can't I have a fucking option to use the god damn start menu. Serious question.

Yeah and that Metro menu only is good to use with some touch screen I guess. I never have liked the metro look anyway. I think I'll keep my 7 and see how the Windows 9 looks.
Edit: so sleepy. I'll go see some nightmares about Windows 8.
Windows 8 urgh..
Hail to the king, baby!

The real travesty is that the Windows 95 interface sorta finally grew up with Vista/7. The start menu is fucking awesome, after years of being pretty useless... soooo... lets kills it! Kill it with metro fire!
Damn nightmares.
Hail to the king, baby!

Start menu use is mostly reserved for pulling up a command prompt, opening up msconfig, going into control panel, or quickly jumping into my music/documents folder. Although, I can do that from the taskbar as well.
And I assume the security should be good, because what stops somebody from just getting some bogus copy and upgrading from that? Then again, I guess MS won't care as long as people are paying to upgrade to Windows 8? Hmm, could be a smart way to make money even from the software pirates, some of them anyway.

A fancy redesign of the start menu.. moving.. what? It sounds to me like you think the start menu in Windows 7 is the same as it's always been. That's just wrong.
Sticking a bunch of big ass tiles all over my screen is not a step forward. Not a step past a searchable menu that can deliver anything on my PC to me in a matter of seconds. No friggin way.
buy it ^_^
My biggest issue with 7 is its ambiguity, dumbed-down specifics, and locked directories that require some safe mode tweaks to modify. That and it shuffled and buried a lot of aspects that didn't need moving or burying.
I don't use the eye-candy interface, nor the other resource hogging programs. I can make it look how I like and have always enjoyed. Most games still support DX9, DX11 is nice.
I don't understand a the need for an 8. I fear this will end up becoming like what has hurt a lot of programs; A consistent re-releasing of 1% more content that isn't even necessary but available to you at full price.
doom: The oldest rule in the book, never update unless you have a problem.
