It looks like those who buy a copy of Microsoft's Windows 7 Home Basic or higher, in the months leading up to the Windows 8 release, will later be provided with a discounted upgrade (at a cost of US$14.99) for the newer version — instead of a free upgrade, as has been offered previously. It isn't really that much, but people might now wait for the new release, just based on principle.
Microsoft usually offers a free upgrade to users of older versions of Windows, to bump up to the newest released version, but not this time.
Google and Mozilla have spoken out, asking Microsoft to permit fully fledged browsers other than Internet Explorer on Windows RT, its operating system geared for devices running ARM processors.
