Today is the last day that you can get it at that price. Tomorrow the price will go up to 200 dollars. So if you want to get Windows 8 I would suggest going to <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com">http://</a><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com">windows.microsoft.com</a> and buying it before the day is over.</p>
