Idiot. The presentation is about estimated lifetime of the product, useful for booking the payments that come in, and for planning the development cycle of future products. His journalism license (no such thing, I know) should be suspended.

This maroon Reed can poo-poo buggy updates all he wants, but they’re not funny if you have time-critical work to do.

Can someone help me here? I read somewhere else Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8 customers for 1 year.
Does this mean they are offering the upgrade for 1 year? Or offering a 1 year upgrade?

The cost of the upgrade is $0 for 1 year after that year there will be a charge to upgrade (probably)

The ability to upgrade to Windows 10 is from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I have not seen any mention by Microsoft that one can do an upgrade to Win 10 from Win 8. Accordingly, I have been presuming that users of Win 8 would have to first upgrade to Win 8.1. Does anyone know any different.

Microsoft is aiming to make a massive 'store' marketplace and go head to head against Steam and every other platform out there that offers streaming software.

I have the little Windows logo in my Windows 7 taskbar which offers the free upgrade, to be downloaded after July 29. Not sure what I’ll do, probably wait and hear many reviews.
I guess no one has yet had a preview of Windows? Or, any early reviews around?

Windows 10 is a TRAP.
In a few years they will charge everyone a yearly fee.

I like that Linux distribution best. I run it on Virtual Box and am waiting on MS to poop in their nest. It works amazingly well, and I can always run Windows in Virtual Box on Linux.

Why -not- to upgrade to Windows 10 ... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".
> Someone argues you should NOT upgrade to Windows 10. . .
Maybe they have a point! Thanks to Swordmaker for the ping!!
