I am guessing that not enough people are dumping XP fast enough for Microsoft’s liking. I say that because News.com is reporting that Microsoft is paying people to dump XP:
If you own a PC with XP and upgrade at the Microsoft Store, you get $100 off, 90 days of free support, and a “free data transfer,” as spotted by Neowin.
The offer includes a new PC or Surface device priced at $599 or more and excludes Surface 2 “and some PCs,” Microsoft said.
And you have to make an online purchase with a Windows XP machine or take an XP PC to a physical Microsoft Store.
So, if you’re someone who’s still on XP, is this an inducement to make you switch?
