Technology giant Microsoft is making efforts to bring people to Windows 8 operating system [OS] and so are offering USD 100 [Approx 6,000] off for the new users. This offer is exclusively for the Window Xp OS users who are still using it.

Windows Xp will be terminated by Microsoft on April 8th and so to pull in more crowd this decision was taken. However this offer is valid in the US and is expected to run till 15th June.

In a recent study it came out that still around 15 per cent of the PCs are running with Windows Xp and 95 per cent of ATM machines also do. We have to see whether this offer lands in India or not.
