Hi there
I needed a second smallish decent laptop -- I bought one the other day -- was pre-installed with W7 but I got a free voucher for a W8 upgrade when W8 hits the streets.
My point is this :
the W7 pre-installed stuff is full of Vendors junk and stupid things like Mcafee 60 day trial. Netflix, ebay,kobo,buy online etc etc. Total and UTTER Bovine scatology -- I like my computers to only have the proper Ms OS on them only plus applications I WANT --none of this trial and adware.
I've now installed W8 RTM from TechNet on it -- but I'll still get the W8 upgrade since I can give it away to someone else -- I hope though it's a PROPER RETAIL copy and also not riddled with this type of ***pware.
I don't want to take the computer back to the store for them to do the upgrade -- no thanks --and I won't probably be even in the same country either so I hope it's a free RETAIL version.
Should be illegal to supply computers with that amount of junk on them pre-installed.
Anybody know how this upgrade works -- will you just be able to download W8 from the MS site with a code or whatever and install at your own convenience.
Cheers
