Windows Media Center 8 for FREE from MS for a limited time.

Unlike Windows 7, Windows 8 will not come with Windows Media Center as part of the operating system.
 It's now an add-on that can be purchased through the Add Features option in Windows 8.
For a limited time, however, Microsoft is offering Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro customers for free. Here's how to get it.


 1   Request your free product key from windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs
 2   They will send it by email in about 20 min to 48 hours.
 3   Then hit the shortcut, Win+W, then type "add features." Select "Add features to Windows 8."
 4   Click on "I already have a product key," then enter your product key. Click Next to continue.
 5   Agree to the licensing agreement, then click "Add features."

Once the offer expires on January 31, 2013, the cost to add Windows Media Center will be $9.99.
This offer does not apply to Windows 8 users who aren't running the Pro version.

Don't forget to check your version of Win 8, when your comp starts does it say Windows 8 Pro, if not this freebee will not work.
