Sometimes when they release they offer at a lower price to entice people to take it up, I have never seent hem have a sale or special on OS's so consequently the price only ever goes up from release. As for free, MS can't afford to give it away because they can't build the cost into hardware like apple do. HP, dell, acer, etc make the money from hardware they only make cash out of the software.

Keep an eye on 2015 when Microsoft often offers big deals—like Windows 7 with three licenses for $150, Home Premium at 60% off, and Professional discounted by half. For Windows 8, the Pro edition plus Media Center is only $40. Prices drop quickly, so stay alert. We might see similar savings on Windows 9 soon.
