How to Save Money to Upgrade PC Software

Recently I calculate the money of software I paid. It is an amazing number - Over 1,000 US$. Once new software comes out, if we need to upgrade it, we must pay much for it. So I need to take consideration of this and cut the cost. 

Later this month I'll be canceling my subscription to a leading security suite that runs on two of my home-office PCs. I'll replace it with Microsoft's free Security Essentials, which I've been using on my notebook since I bought it two years ago. I realized several months ago that I simply no longer needed to spend money for the convenience of an all-in-one security app.

That got me thinking: Is there any software that the average PC user needs to pay for? Most of us bought our current operating system--usually Windows 7 or Mac OS X--as part of the purchase of the computer itself. Do-it-yourselfers have Linux as a free-OS alternative.

The programs we use for work, such as Microsoft Office 2010 and specialty apps like Adobe Photoshop or Intuit'sQuicken/QuickBooks accounting software, are likely provided by our employer. (People who work from home and/or for themselves have to buy their own software, but they can at least write off the cost of the programs they use in their work.)

What about all those commercial security suites and system utilities? I search online and found that there are some product keys sold from some online store that is cheap. So I try one and it is successful. Perfect!! 

Excluding Mac OS X Snow Leopard (number 8 on the list) and two Windows 7 Home Premium upgrades (standard and three-user family pack at 10 and 11, respectively), only two titles on Amazon's top 20 have no free equivalent that I'm aware of: Honest Technology's VHS to DVD Deluxe, which tops the Amazon list, and Nuance Communications' Dragon Naturally Speaking, which comes in at number 18.

Here's a rundown of Amazon's top-selling programs and their free counterparts.

It's no surprise that Microsoft Office 2010 takes four of the top 20 spots on software-sales list: Office 2010 Home & Student is number 2, Office 2010 Home & Business is 12th, Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student Family Pack is 13th, and Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student 1 Pack comes in 17th.

Now each time I will go to the retail store to looking for the discount suites. So I can save money without pay more on the Microsoft Store. My favorite site is www.Softwaretake.com!!

When will Windows 8 Launch?

According to the Tami Reller's speaking at the 2011 Worldwide Partner Conference, Windows 8 has the same system requirements as Windows 7.

"In both of our Windows 8 previews, we talked about continuing with the important trend that we started with Windows 7, keeping system requirements either flat or reducing them over time. Windows 8 will be able to run on a wide range of machines because it will have the same requirements or lower."

As a reminder, here are the Windows 7 system requirements:

1GHz CPU
1GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

It is the good news for all PC owners. They do not re-buy new PC to run the Windows 8 System. For this reason, Windows 8 must be more popular than Windows 7. It will bring a new sales trend for Microsoft Company.

Windows 7 has been sold 400 Million. And Windows 7 includes Windows 7 Standard, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Home Premium. These three version meets people's requirement at the range from student to business man。 And who want to use it can pay less money for his fixed Windows 7 version.

Although the number shows the popularity of windows 7, windows 8 will be change this situation next year. Windows 8 will be sold more.
