Microsoft Announces jaw-dropping Black Friday Deals

Ahead of Cyber Monday, Microsoft has announced deals on an array of products, including just launched OS Windows 8, Office suites, Xbox consoles, kinects and more. These deals can be redeemed with a Microsoft promo code at your nearest Microsoft outlet or via the online store.

Windows 8 Pro, the power version of Microsoft’s new OS, is now available at a discounted upgrade rate of $39.99. Compared to a retail rate of $69.99, a Windows 8 promo code would enable users to save about 44% on the upgrade. Open to all users of Windows 7, Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista, this offer expires on January 31, 2013.

The software giant has also announced Microsoft Store Black Friday deals on new PC purchases between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013. Any qualifying Windows7 PC, purchased within this eligibility period, is entitled to an electronic upgrade to Windows 8, for $14.99.

Upcoming launches, Office 2013 and Office 365 also have pre-launch offers running on them. Microsoft will let purchasers of qualifying Office suites and individual applications upgrade to the subsequent new Office, absolutely free. This offer is particularly lucrative for students, in that Office suites like Office University 2010 and Office for Mac University 2011 already carry huge Microsoft promo code student discounts.
