Review by Computer Tech

Let’s see what Microsoft is offering for the money. I am supposed to pay Microsoft 89 dollars so that I can get Windows Media Center which was already included free as part of the operating system in Windows 7.

It is outrageous to charge $89.00 to upgrade your Windows 8 installation (you already paid for Windows 8 in the price of the computer) to Windows 8 Pro. You can upgrade from Windows XP or Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro for the same price.

Thanks, but NO thanks! Microsoft is no longer focusing on creating great operating systems with features that customers want, they are focusing on offering less and then wringing money out of the consumer to get features that were already included in Windows 7.

If you have to charge for Windows Media Center for Windows 8, put it in the APP store for 10 dollars and get serious about serving the customer.
