Windows 10

right. looks like i paid 1999 as well. weirdly, i do remember 750 being the upgrade price at point of time...

700 was for those who had a paid license for Windows 7. And I was lucky that that MS had given me Windows 7 for free for some party pack thing they had going back then.

nm. samuel paid 700 based on his screenshot. i missed the promo part. mine was still 1999.

so what did i upgrade from? vista? lol. seems weird coz i definitely had a windows 7 license at that point of time.

I paid 699 each for a desktop upgrade from win7 and a laptop upgrade from vista.

I believe people even upgraded from ahem lets say "unverified" copies of windows 7 using 699 as well.

 

[Sushubh]

yeah it was a free for all party at the time. probably the first time a lot of indians actually paid for software.

 

[Navjot Singh]

Microsoft really pushed Windows 7 and 8 a lot here and did some crazy things. And I don't think they ever made an Indian ad for Windows before this.




This used to play on channels all day. lol

 

[Sushubh]

heh yeah. i remember searching for the song and getting amused that it was from a movie.

You paid 1.9k for the license and 750 for the Media Center Upgrade, I think.

Wasn't Media Center Upgrade free with every Windows 8 license? For a limited period though.

Media center was free. I also have a key for it.
