At the price it is, I would hope so. ROFL
Now if it was the same price as win 7, how many would of sold?
I am glad that they dropped the price though.
After using Win8 in a VM for several months, I decided this would be the first version of Windows I won't buy...at least until things worked out. Then the $38.88 deal from Amazon popped up opening day and I bought it, and then I found out about the $15 download since I bought a laptop for my daughter last Summer, and I ended up with two copies solely because of the price.
Now, I didn't want to install it until things worked out, but I can only get Media Center for free if I install and validate before January. So I'll probably install the download on one of my extra drives in my PC just to get it, and maybe play with it a little outside of the VM environment.
So, for me, it was all about the cost incentives. But that still counts as a victory to the MS marketing department whether I actually use it or not.
