    Possible Installation/Upgrade Options


    Hello,

    I realise we don't have much information yet, but I wonder what sort of /installation upgrade options might be available with 8 when it happens?

    For example:

    Windows 8 Starter
    Windows 8 Professional
    etc. etc.

    Whats do you think?

    I really hope its distributed through a flashdrive instead of a DVD, but that's doubtful. Would be a nice extra option for say, $10 more (I would pay).

    I'm thinking that the fast usb stick option would price out higher with additional profit margin built in I say it's more likely to cost $40.00 more. How about a pre-installed Revo drive option? True plug in update and play, likewise a Sata II/III SSD option for mobile and desktop options.

    You can buy a 4 gig flash drive (all thats needed) for around $10. I would be willing to pay that much more for a USB install "disk" over an actual DVD. It installs about twice as fast easy (I used one to install onto my SSD).

    Indeed, a worthwhile option to consider, would have my vote.

    A flash drive option would be neat, but unsecured at all. Theoretically anyone could distribute it....
