This week on Pureinfotech: Surface with Windows 8 Pro price has been revealed, but is it worth the money? Microsoft is preparing the next version of Windows codename “Blue”. This is part of a new approach of releasing new updates every years — but not to be confused with regular updates. Plus, if you happen to have the pockets empty to sign up for a Xbox LIVE Gold Membership, the software giant is letting every Xbox owner from November 29th through December 2nd get access to online gaming and apps for free!

This week also Microsoft unveiled that they had sold 40 million licenses of Windows 8 the first month, with a little help, of course.
