Microsoft promotes the Windows 8 Pro with just $14.99

Microsoft promotes the Windows 8 Pro with just  $14.99  for Update to buyers of Windows 7-based PCs.
In regards to features, the Release Preview has bundled in plenty of new apps: the Bing Travel, News and Sports apps, plus the Xbox Live Games and Xbox Music apps (the latter of which finally integrates with your Zune Pass). Plus there's also a new wave of applications that have been released for the Windows Store today. Another welcome new addition is the inclusion of Flash support in the Metro version of Internet Explorer 10, but it is only permitted for use with certain whitelisted websites like YouTube.

Also in what appears to be a coordinated move by Microsoft, Bing has just launched a significant redesign to its front page. The appearance is decidedly more touch-friendly featuring larger images for quick access to Images and Videos plus the inclusion of Search History if you're logged in. This should go hand-in-hand with the site-wide Metro-style redesign that was launched last month. Check it out by visiting Bing for yourself.
