Microsoft relents: 'Go ahead, install Windows 8.1 on clean PCs'

Windows 8.1 needs Price promotion like Windows 8

I am running Windows 8.1 RTM and for me it really is a great OS (just my opinion) .....its a vast improvement over Windows 8 and has finally persuaded me to let go of my start menu replacement program & enjoy the new interface.

The point I think Microsoft are missing here if they want people to give Windows 8.1 a go is, they need another price promotion as in Windows 8.1 being available for a "song" until Jan 31st 2014 in the same way they did at the release of Windows 8.

I'm amazed they think that people who have steered clear of Windows 8 and are clinging to Windows 7 & XP will suddenly flock to Windows 8.1 with no "carrot" whatsoever....for me it just won't happen. People who wouldn't buy Windows 8 for "peanuts" when it was released are not now gonna pay top dollar for Windows 8.1 coz Microsoft say "it's better now honest".....Strikes me as very poor marketing.....and that's just a shame....
