Yea… Only if you live in USA or Canada.
And only if you upgrade to win8.1. And you don't get cash but $100 less price for buying "a gadget" not cheaper than $600, something like that.

Honestly I'm clueless why Microsoft today thinks winXP is so evil that it needs to die for good. Stopping the support and informing everyone about it is enough. Who wants to use it will continue to use it. For example I don't see any reason to give a new machine to my (old!) mother who uses the ancient winXP only for skype and surfing and likes it. And she despises new touchscreen phones, she loves her bigbuttons motorola.
And she'd probably hate me if I gave her a new fancy and expensive machine with touchscreen OS.
