We have previously seen a video of an individual upgrading from DOS 5.0 to Windows 1.0 and through Windows 7. (A new video has been made to include Windows 8 Pro in the install series.) Now we can watch some of the commercials through the Windows releases that might explain why an individual would be interested in upgrading.

“$500? $1000? Even more? Just $99!” (Except in Nebraska.)
