Windows 8 has been released and the good thing is that before purchasing it you can simply download Windows 8 for testing purpose and I will tell you how to do so. The computers that are running on Windows XP, Vista or 7 can now be easily upgraded to Windows 8 Pro edition for a amount of $39.99 only (which is equivalent to Rs. 1,999 in India). To do so all you have to do is head over to the Microsoft Windows site and follow the instructions given over there. The prices as we came to know from sources will remain as such till January, 2013. The current prices of Windows 8 Pro for testing purposes are reasonable and is a good option to get a copy now.
It is to be noted that prior to the official launch of Windows 8, there was a preview edition available for free. But after the launch it had been taken down by Microsoft and instead this new option to download Windows 8 for testing has been put up. You will be able to enjoy all the features of Windows 8 for a period of 90 days with this new option.
In other words if you wish to try the Windows 8 before making a purchase, the best option is to obtain the 90 days trail version from msdn.microsoft.com . But one thing that is to be noted is that these are merely evaluation copies with a validity of 90-days. So if you are planning to download Windows 8 for testing, to be on the safe side create a bootable Windows 8 DVD from the evaluation ISO files or you can set them up in dual-boot environment but the option is to set up a virtual machine.
