All good things have to come to an end, and today marks the last opportunity for Windows users to upgrade to Windows 8 at a discounted rate.

If you've been dithering over whether to upgrade, now would be a good time to make a decision.

Assuming you're interested in Windows 8 at all, it's worth noting that you wouldn't have to install it right away. As long as you have enough hard drive space, you can buy it, download the image file, and save it for a later date.

If Microsoft is going to invest in Dell's privatization, Redmond wants to have some say over the company's future roadmap and key decisions. That's according to The Wall Street Journal, which reports Microsoft's potential role has become something of a "sticking point" as negotiations to end Dell's days as a publicly traded company continue. Last week it was revealed that Microsoft is considering throwing in between $1 billion and $3 billion...
