| 1369872 | 2014-03-10 03:02:00 | You may be horrified to know Chill I've tried none of Google apps at all so I didn't know that :) I wouldn't have upgraded to 8 at full price, I took advantage of the cheap introductory offers figuring I might regret it later if I didn't. Did 3 PCs but I almost feel guilty about the Lounge Media PC, the other 2 I did the cheap upgrade option but on the Media PC I used the even cheaper option. Its an USFF Dell optiplex 755 I was given that had a bogus cracked copy of windows 7 on it, so I tried the upgrade offer for people who'd bought a new PC in the 6 months prior to widows 8 release and it worked! - it was really cheap but I forget how much maybe $25 or less?? then I paid $12 for media centre because my free key wouldn't work (I got 2 keys on 2 E-mail addresses but only 1 worked) and now I have windows 8.1 pro with Media centre for well under $50 on a PC I was given for free - and it's an awesome media machine. |

Those Chromecasts are golden!! I did the early upgrade offer too, for $20 or whatevs... Can't beat that! :D I figured likewise, and I'm kinda glad I did :) Sounds like you have a nice setup there. |
