While Microsoft promised an inexpensive upgrade plan to Windows 8 to consumers purchasing new Windows PCs, ZDNet reported with certainty that the upgrades will go further way, way back. Mary Jo Foley, who has been historically accurate in rumors like these, wrote that PCs running as old as Windows Vista SP1 can upgrade to Windows 8 with its settings remain intact. Meanwhile, really old PCs with OS as old as Windows XP SP3–which we see a lot in penny-pinching corporations–can upgrade to the soon-to-be-released Windows 8, carrying their personal files along in the process.
Some details on the upgrade plan seems dated, though.
