If you have an old windows key ie. XP or Vista then you can get Windows 8 for £25 with the upgrade option. The offer is valid till the end of Jan 2013 :-)

Well if you are on XP you probably don't have the hardware to use Win8. But if you do you should get the update and just not use it till after the "End Of Life" date of XP, at which point will never see another security update.

If you have Win7, I would stick with that thoguh. Win8 is a POS. Try the public beta if you hadn't.
