And then, my guess is that we'll all find out what "Software As A Service" means. Microsoft no doubt views those 300 million PCs that have been switched over to Windows 10 "for free" as "loss leaders" -- kinda like Gillette's "free" razors (now buy the blades forever) or Mattel's inexpensive Barbie doll (now buy the clothes and accessories forever).
I've read they claim that security updates will be free forever -- well, big deal, they always have been, and by God they -ought- to be since they represent fixes to a flawed product.
But somewhere, they plan to make money on all those "free" Win10 installs.
What's your take on it?

If you download the Microsoft windows 10 ISO, you should still be able to install it on Windows 8 or 8 pro machines that have the serial number built onto the motherboard
That is what we are told anyways for recovery reasons or replacing the hard drives in windows 8 machines
The iso is free and you can copy it onto a bootable USB stick
Happily don’t care. Been on Linux for years. Hope M$ crashes and burns.
I don’t need a snitch in the house.
The real money for MS isn’t in the OS, it’s in the developer licenses. Having hundreds of millions of Windows users means having 10s of millions people subscribing to MSDN for a lot more than they’d ever charge for the OS. The OS is a loss leader, but not in the razor model.
Been using Win10 for a over a year now and have no complains. It runs smoother than any OS I’ve ever had (I use both PC and Mac). I’ve never had any concern if data is being recorded that I wouldn’t want, but I also don’t have anything that I want to hide. Honestly, if that is people’s concern then make sure you use an email service that you host on your own server because I can assure you that Google, Yahoo and others are data mining their email servers.
I finally installed windows 10 on my wifes computer and my own. I actually solved a problem my wifes was having with shutdowns and such plus I have never had a problem with it on my computer.
I’m getting ready to buy a Win Vista 64 bit machine for my wife to play her games on. Her present ‘puter is really old and running XP.
Everything else in the house is Mac.
Hope I remember how to use it.
Use Linux.
