Microsoft is giving Windows 10 a big upgrade.

45. The strings in this case are of another nature.

Microsoft will save billions if they can find a way to force the premature end of Win7/8. The idea was/is to make it so the only WinOS is Win10. I suspect that by the end of July, we're going to see a means deployed to kill "anti-upgrade software" like Never10 and the free update period extended slightly so they can forcibly-upgrade everybody that has resisted with the use of such software. At that time, expect them to remove the "you can revert!" protocol from Win10.

Microsoft is giving away Win10 because they explicitly want to kill all previous version of their OS now, well before the end of their support period, because they feel it will save them money to not have to support this many different versions of Windows (or as the software industry and media has jokingly named this concept "MS Borg will be cheaper for MS.&quot , as will having the OS set-up to update constantly to address security concerns, code-fixes, implementations of new features, etc. rather than coming out with a new version every 3-5 years...Win 10 could be thought of as Win Final. This switch to this kind of "liveware" (I don't know a better name for organically improving software that updates constantly and repairs itself.) will also save them money.

It's why they're so desperate to force everybody on Win7/8 to upgrade. They see their previous OS as money pits they want to burn to the ground and force users out of. They tried being "nice" with the free upgrade, now they're going to resort to digital arson to force the non-adopters over too.
