You will be paying, every year for various licences and if you don't then apps will be stopped. It's as simple as that.

I pay for my own Microsoft office, $100 annually and that is what they want everyone to do for the rest of their lives; it's criminal - their profits will be even more massive than before. They also wanna control your purse and transactions and link everything, as Badders says, just like Google and iApple. If you're happy being their bitch and paying up and doing as your told that's fine...

I download win10 on my work computer (which shouldn't actually have been possible as I don't have the right administrator level passwords, etc, but MS did it anyways; not sure how), and now every time I attempt to load up an office doc it just crashes; obviously the company don't have original sw license. I'm in South Korea and MS have been sued for this a couple of years ago, but they simply don't care... If you want to suck MS cock and claim they deserve to have this right and that right then go ahead and drone on; the simple fact of the matter, to me, is that the corporations are globally invading your space ignoring laws around the world time after time for the sake of their corporate profit. They are cnuts...

Thanks for reiterating, Bets, as the coin has dropped for some and others haven't waken from their induced slumber as of yet regarding the real evils and agenda of Microsoft.

The bastards are not our friends nor benevolent as they promote themselves to be.
I'm akin with the likes of you, Baldrick, and others who are finding the light.

They are not saying.

Upgrade to Windows 10: FAQ - Windows Help

because they are utter scum.

However, the benchmark will be with their other subscription costs which are all targeted based upon how much they think they can screw out of you on the monthly basis. If it is less that $150 USD a year I will eat my hat.

They are also putting pop up adverts into areas of the windows fuktperience and you have to pay $10 a year on games to turn them off etc.

Avoid like the plague, or load it, and use the free year to get used to the true free platforms as mentioned above like ubuntu etxc.

My new mini-notebook came with W10 preinstalled.

It's shite.

Oh, and had agreed to the free upgrade from W7 for an older com before, it crashed the system.
Had W7 reinstalled pronto.

Free for one year, but it can be used as long as the computer lasts. With a new computer after that you need to buy a license unless it comes with the computer.

the only thing that will fcuk win 7 is the drivers for the hardware not being available from the OEMs websites

it took me 4 months before I coud change win 8.1 to win 7 on my new asus as the drivers were not there - the nvidia card one was the critical one whichalways provoked the BSOD

I agree on my machine and many others Windows 10 deleted the partition with the result I had to re-install the operating system. Luckily I bought the recovery disks when I bought the machine. No need to listen to me a friend who has a computer repair business has his engineer busy with no end of machines that has suffered the same fate - the issue won't be specific to his business only.

Microsoft accused of adding spy features to Windows 7, 8 | Ars Technica

My understanding was the upgrade would e free forever for those who upgrade from a genuine 8/8.1in the first year?

I assumed this was an incentive to create critical mass.

Pseudolus claims we'll all have to pay, Who is right?

^ You will not have to pay unless you get a new computer.

Yes, free until that computer is replaced. I understand you cannot reinstall it on a new one after the one year has passed. But not only WIN 8, WIN 7 is also valid for update. I am running WIN 7 and the update icon is there.

Since Win 7 is only 20€ in the EU upgrade from WIN 7 is the cheapest way to WIN 10 during that year.

will os/x work on a windows configured computer ?

there is a thing called hackingtosh, running osx on standard pc hardware using the same components used in apples laptops. It works well, but takes soem effort to get up and running. I was running one for about 2 years.

osx running under vmware fusion or workstation is more than a little slow and unresponsive

FFS Just install 10 and be done with it. You can disable all of the data sharing it does with MS if you are paranoid about it. Not that hard to do. I have turned off all of the apps and cortina. It will not ask you for any credit card information whatsoever.

If you think you will be safer somehow staying on 7 you are kidding yourself as MS has installed the same data collection on it as well.

I'm not on 7 Thanks for the wide vareity of opinions, so it seems there is no consensus, I'll keep looking perhaps the later updates will be better,cost and privacy are not my concerns a stale durable configuration is good
