[dgstorm]

It sounds a bit like market bribery, but if it adds extra value to us consumers we can't help but take advantage of it. Microsoft has a program in which they will pay you money to switch to a new Windows 10 laptop. You simply have to trade in an old Windows laptop and purchase a new Windows 10 laptop and Microsoft will offer up to $200 USD.

It's even more lucrative if you are trading in a Mac laptop. Microsoft has earmarked $300 USD for users willing to trade in a Mac for a new Windows 10 laptop. Here's a quote with the details,

1. Purchase product(s): You can view the qualifying new product criteria on theQualifying Purchases page. Purchases must be made between 14th October 2015 and 20th October 2015.
2. Claim online: Visit the Trade Up Now page on the promotional website.

No different to the last trade in program they did, just take the ten minutes and stick your laptop on eBay instead.

First -- press releases of 'sold-out' devices without providing numbers, now this. Creates a perception of desperation -- probably would've been better to ride the coattails of their impressive keynote and proceeded with regular product launches
