According to this (and corroborated from other news sources), Microsoft is now going to pay "verified" Windows XP users to buy a new Windows 8-laden PC. They'll give you $100 in Microsoft store credit if you then go on to buy one of their $600~$2300 Windows 8 machines.

I'm just sitting over here, laughing. Another source had mentioned that earlier this month, XP's market share actually rose a little bit even as the EOL date looms. Even with all the doom and gloom and ridicule that has been laid on thick by tech journalists and people buying into Microsoft's scare tactics. Now Microsoft is trying to pay people to use their latest OS?
