Many users of win 7sp1 and win 8.1 might have registered a 'new' icon on their taskbar, offering them a feeless upgrade of their OS to windows 10.Wondering what kind of spam, virus, trojan or else I might have captured I did a 'lil search on the web : It seems to be real and no malware (whatever you might think of windows itself ) Seems we get another OS with questiionable compatibility to Crossfire .... or not ? 1stWindows 10 will be released on 29th of JULY and not before, so no comments on i…

THX @Crusader that is an important bit of info. This would mean, if I 'upgrade' from the win7 prof I have now, I will get a bill from microsoft in a years time ... when I would have still my win7 prof WITHOUT any additional fees, if I don't do this upgrade. .... The german microsoft site states : (Quote)Means :... The free of charge update is available for one year after the release of windows 10 and after that you can enjoy w1ndows 10 for free. Is there something different stated on the neglis…

Enough for a BIG percentage to go pass their taxing border@No. 3 : not more than 'usual' on purchasing a new OS, afaik@No. 4 : nothing new and nothing that would equal the 'losses' from the long free upgrade All in all = much less profit from selling it So, where is the profit plus for microsoft - also in the future ? .... And I'm sure they aim at nothing else than more profit, than t…

what for ? ... if it's free ... mostly

@AZ09 ... they are working at something called "Edge" (asik), that shall replace i-exploer, but shall do the same job @RonaldoDaVinci ... that selling with new pc or laptop : also nothing new and i am still thinking about the way they might make more money they made the 'old way'. As said : I just fear that at some point you have to subscribe to regular payments for being able to use your windows on your pc or laptop. .... (As a side thought : this could also work in another direction, making a…

... you got a point there : companies ... For them it was :Buy a software system with its paid update services every time a new is released. Atm every 3-4 years they are faced with the expenditure of purchasing a (probably/possible) whole new software suite.Now it would sound :Buy a software system with its paid update services ONLY ONCE. All furure updates(changes/releases are already included.That cuts the 'regular' costs for a new system in the future. Even if the 'service fees' might be a b…
