More rumours have started floating around the web now as we start to approach the release date for Windows 8. This latest rumour suggests that Microsoft will not offer a full version of Windows 8 to consumers. Rather they will only be offering OEM and Upgrade versions of Windows 8.

If Microsoft were to proceed ahead with this, it wouldn’t really affect people too much in fairness. The vast majority of consumers will be able to take advantage of Microsoft’s upgrade offer and get Windows 8 for just $39.99 if they have either a copy of Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
