Windows 8 Pro Groupon special price extended

Thats the "upgrade" not this version that Groupon are selling.
 
Ah heeeelll no!

We still don't know which version they're selling, and they're not answering emails about it, and now they're getting more free publicity?

Anyone considering spending R600 on this lucky draw should look at the original thread first:

Edit: if this article is correct, and it's indeed the RETAIL version, then this is the bargain of the century and I apologise to Groupon. IF.

+1 but communication and product description should have been far better with their reputation of being ripoffs people started to ask questions.

For now I am not going to cancel my order unless within 7 working days I get the idea we're being tricked into a deal under false pretence
 
Upgrade editions of Windows 8 Pro that require users to have a previous version of Windows will be available from Incredible Connection for R699.95.

That is incorrect ;)
 
What we need is a yes or no answer to this question:

"Do you need an existing Windows license in order to install this version of Windows 8 Pro on an empty harddrive?"

If the question to the above is yes then the next question is:

"Is this the retail or DSP version of Windows 8 Pro?"

Jan? rpm? Goupon? Microsoft? Anyone?
 
Running the full version of Windows 8 now :) not beta/consumer preview :D must say its a lot less buggy
 
Groupon deal no longer available.

Does anyone know what time locally the MS site will start selling?
 
Great upgrade, great deal

That is what I am seeing... HELL TO THE NO for R600 when I can download

EDIT: From here:
Microsoft today announced the global availability of Windows 8. Beginning Friday, Oct. 26, consumers and businesses worldwide will be able to experience all that Windows 8 has to offer, including a new user interface and a wide range of applications with the grand opening of the Windows Store.

Cool thanks tomorrow it is then.
 
Seems MS doesn't realise there are time zones in this world... like most US companies they won't recognise UTC (GMT). "Tomorrow" means a lot of different times to a lot of people!
 
So can anyone confirm if this is an upgrade or the full version? I want to get another PC for the house and would prefer getting it a full version of windows 8 while I'm at it.
