The best time to upgrade to a new version of Windows is during the launch window—due to Microsoft's abysmal adoption rates for new operating systems, they offer a slew of great deals on upgrade copies. Those deals are over now. But the versions for cheap were upgrade copies: if you were building a machine and installing Windows 8 on bare metal, they wouldn't work. Today, we're seeing the first significant sale on Windows 8 OEM—a full blown copy that doesn't require a previous licence. Over at Newegg, the code EMCYTZT3373 takes Windows 8 OEM down to $80. Check it out. [Newegg]
