Microsoft Dealz of the Day: 12.09.2009
Are you a PC? Avid Xbox gamer? Love your Zune? Here's today's best deals for the Microsoft die-hard:
Smooth Move Ex-Lax: Microsoft Ends Windows 7 Family Pack
Microsoft, facing stiff competition from Apple on its launch of Windows 7, let its Windows 7 Family Pack offer expire just when it would be to its advantage to continue the offer.
From the outset, the Family Pack was offered as a limited time discount allowing a household to upgrade 3 PC’s to Windows 7 for only $150. Each PC would regularly cost $129-200 each without the discount.
Apple markets an upgrade to its OS X for only $29 and many analysts suggested that Microsoft follow suit with lower pricing to attack Apple’s competitive position, especially since the Vista OS was such a disappointment in the PC market.
Microsoft subsidizing Free Wi-Fi for Bing Searches
Microsoft announced today that its Bing “decision engine” (read: search engine) is providing users with Free Wi-Fi access at select locations when they complete at least one search. The service is being supplied by mobile advertising company JiWire. Despite all the great press that Bing is getting from this promotion – there’s one slight catch: Microsoft is not providing a directory of the wi-fi locations in either the press release or in news reports.
We did some digging – JiWire does provide a directory of its Wi-Fi hotspots HERE. Good hunting and save yourself some $ while going mobile!
