Details leaked about Microsoft’s $15 Windows 8 Pro upgrade offer earlier this month, and we are now able to confirm it will run from June 2nd to January 31st, 2013, according to one source familiar with the company’s plans. Microsoft Store customers who purchase a Windows 7 PC from June 2nd will be offered a Windows 8 Pro upgrade for only $14.99. The limited-time “Windows Step-Up Offer” will run until January 31st, 2013 — providing upgrades for holiday and sales shoppers.
