For Buy a New PC Microsoft Will Give You $100

If you're still using Windows XP, you just won $100 from Microsoft.

The only catch is that you have to upgrade to a new Windows 8 computer.

Those who are eligible for the promotion can redeem the credit at Microsoft's online store or their retail shops --

and the fact that you still use the 13-year old Windows XP is subject to verification by Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500).

The offer is good for PCs ranging in price from $599 and $2,299 and will run until June 15.

The promotion is part of Microsoft's plan to get the last remaining Windows XP users off the operating system before the April 8 end of life date.

 After April 8, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates to address viruses and exploits to the operating system.
