I think everyone is overlooking the most important factor here. The Price

Windows 8 is by far the cheapest OS microsoft has released. its $89 and $50 for an upgrade

where as the basic windows 7 was I think $149 on release
these are NZD

Wait a minute. Only $89 for a full version to install on a fresh new system, not an OEM or upgrade version?

He's wrong...well maybe not as he may be from Australia or something. But in North America Win 8 pro Upgrade download is 39.99. Upgrade Pro DVD is 69.99, new OEM license for Windows 8 is 99 bucks and Windows 8 pro is 149.

so compared to windows 7

69 - upgrade

99 - windows 7 home

149 - windows 7 pro

Looks right to me.
