Let's begin with Windows RT. Windows RT is not something you can pick up off a shelf and install in a computer of your choosing. Windows RT is available only with newly purchased ARM-based (that's a processor specification that differs greatly from Intel/AMD-based processors - if you have a smartphone/tablet purchased in recent years, it would be based on an ARM-based processor) Tablets and PCs. Quite a few ARM-based devices have been announced by PC manufacturers, Microsoft included, but we don't look too kindly on a version of Windows that cannot run legacy (meaning every single Windows software that was released before Windows 8) Windows software. An average Indian, when setting up a new PC, goes ahead and installs a set of software which generally includes (but is not limited to) the following: Google Talk, VLC Media Player and/or the traditional Windows Media Player with a codec pack, a download manager such as Free Download Manager and so on. Sadly, none of these can be installed on a PC running Windows RT. Say, what?! Yes, Windows RT is Microsoft's attempt at capturing the Tablet market that has been dominated by the iPad and completed by Android-based Tablets.
Since Intel/AMD-based processors cannot provide the battery backup that would be comparable to an iPad or Android Tablets, Microsoft had to build Windows RT. So, Windows RT is more like a Tablet-specific version of the new Windows. We know this could be confusing - feel free to read up more about it online or drop us a line. We'd be glad to go ahead and clear any doubts our readers might have regarding the new flavours of Windows.
Moving on, let's take a look at the "standard" edition of Windows 8: Windows 8. This is the version that we have seen being offered with most new PCs running Windows 8, yet this is the one version that Microsoft is not offering easily for existing PC owners. If you just want to purchase a full version of Windows 8, you will need to talk to a sales rep, as the Microsoft website says. There is no 'retail' version of Windows 8 - you would be forced to purchase a System Builder license (previously known as OEM) from wherever you can find it available. In the US, websites like newegg and Amazon generally stock these licenses. Good luck with finding similar options in India. Oh, and the best part? If you purchase a System Builder license-version of Windows 8, Microsoft does not provide technical support.
Finally, the version that we like the best: Windows 8 Pro. If you have recently purchased a new Desktop/Notebook PC running a licensed version of Windows 7, you can purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for only Rs. 699/- If you have a computer running a licensed (not cracked or pirated!) version of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Consumer Preview or Windows 8 Release Preview then you can purchased the upgrade for Rs. 1999/- directly from Microsoft. If you want to purchase a physical copy of the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, your chances in India are slim. If you want to purchase a no-nonsense, full (not an upgrade) version of Windows 8 Pro - we wish you all the best. You would need to purchase a System Builder license, just like for the standard edition of Windows 8 (Refer previous paragraph).
We hope this clears some of the questions surrounding Windows 8 versions and how to obtain them. Like we mentioned previously in the article, if you have further queries, feel free to contact us via email or leave a comment below.
