This is for publishing phone apps?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

You pay the $100, then get $92 rebated in 60 days. That means for those who choose to use PayPal to pay it, consider: -> the rebate will go to your PayPal account, not back to the card PayPal used. And if you're in a country like Australia you can only transfer from PayPal to a bank account, not a credit card. -> to enable the future rebate it registers in PayPal as a pre-approved payment. This means at the time you accept the payment at the PayPal page you cannot specify the payment method, it just says "default method". If you want to set the default method beforehand, log-in to your PayPal, go to Profile > My Money & click Update next to pre-approved payments. Then on the blue header of the list click "Set Available Funding Sources". Select/deselect the ones you want to use. Then when you do the MS payment, you've controlled exactly where it's coming from. Hope this helps. :) PS - You might be thinking why I didn't just use the credit card option. I did that 2 days ago to buy the Windows 8 update from MS & my credit card got locked with a fraud alert because MS are using a German company to process the payments. Ahh, the joys of finance!

I'm an Australian living in the Philippines, & I used my Philippines details. So I think it works the same anywhere. It's done through a little program you download called the update assistant, so if it isn't possible it just won't process it, no harm in trying it. The only hiccup I had was I had just replaced the HDD in my girlfriend's computer & reloaded her Win7 on, then we decided to do the Win8 update. It seemed to have a tiny hiccup in the install process but got itself sorted out. I later realised I hadn't installed the Win7 service packs so that was probably the reason that it had to first install those. But it sorted it out all by itself. My girlfriend's not a puter buff at all & she loves Win8 (I wasn't sure that she would), so I think those that have said the general public will hate it may be speaking a little too soon. :)

Win8 is designed for the general public, the only people that have problems with the change are the tech people :laugh: that's good news, i'm in brazil and own a win7 sansung notebook that i whant to upgrade, also my dad owns a win Vista HP notebook and also want to upgrade (he could not upgrade to win 7 due to the support contract, but now the warranty is over) but i think he will not have the same luck :( EDIT: wow, just found that he can! and for only R$ 70,00 that would be about $30.00 dollars, it's just too much cheap :omg:

This doesn't seem very legit. I think if they really want devs they'll only charge $8 to join period (actually it should be free, but a small charge might still good to make sure that subscribers are sincere).
