oh crap I have a feeling that means windows media center wont be free anymore now i dont know what to do... im concerned because i use the m-card for my cable tuner from comcast having to use windows 7 media center to watch tv and record and i really dont wanna make the move to windows 8 but concern that eventualy media center won't be update on windows 7 earlier then normal for whatever new encoding they do on the broadcast forcing me to go to windows 8. Should i bite the bullet and pre purchase some copies while i can get em at 40$ with the free media center or not... ugh just more stuff to buy.

ATM windows 8 will not work corectly with my tuner but they are working on it.
