There was an upgrade for $39 deal, but it expired on the 31st of January.

Talk on ozbargains is that the deal still works.

That's in infamous Australia tax that is put on everything down here. Expect to pay double for any software, even if it's download only.

Haha this made me laugh :) First the notion that someone would pay to upgrade to Win8, then the price :D Even $40 would have been too much... Apparently they really want everyone switch to Linux.

Strange. I am in AU and I upgraded from Win7 - Win8 last year and I only paid ~$30. Maybe that was a short term deal?
