Liars clowns and thieves: Microsofts folly

[Ralph Bromley]

Well so much for my want to install windows 7 again after hearing that windows 7 will get the upgrade to windows 10 for free.
According to articles and keynotes Windows 7 users will be allowed to upgrade to windows 10 for free, but according to my last phone call to Microsoft this wont be the case and will only be there for windows 8 and 8.1 users.
Such a pity as they could offer this for windows 7 users as incentive, but Microsoft screws the pooch again.
Oh well, I got linux so no worrys.

Who exactly did you call? Tech support? Obviously they're not going to know anything. Unless you called the devs I don't see how you could take this info to heart. Honestly, if today's Microsoft was the same as 2013's MS we wouldn't be getting Windows 10 at all. Microsoft has changed since it's new CEO... We should all know that, it no longer deserves to be shortened "M$" rather, it's earned it's title back as just plain MS. They're listening to their users, they're trying to prove that they're going to tell the truth and nothing else, why would they throw that away. Also on subscriptions... Nope. "This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no cost." At this point, so many people have heard of this news that if MS really did change it, there would be uproar, outrage, MS would lose tons of money.
