anthonypants posted:imo in the best case scenario, windows 10 upgrade edition turns into windows 10 home basic live powered by bing, with ads and/or nagware. if microsoft can get people to install windows 10 through systray popups, just imagine what else they can get those people to install!!! lol no note even MS are that dumb. no one wants to start paying a monthly fee for something they own or got for free. just look at what happened when Valve tried to monetize Skyrim modding, that lasted all of three days. if MS expects people to start paying monthly for features that were in Win7 or suffer through popup ads there's going to be such a shitstorm.

you can also expect inconsistent naming to continue in the future, where the first 2 major updates will be 10.1, then 10.2 then following will be windows 10.2 Plus!

they should just include a license with each computer (paid for by the oem) , give free upgrades for the next system if your computer can handle it, and then if nerds want to install it on their gaming rigs then you charge them big bucks basically the current system but with free upgrades

Oh btw to update win pho to the newest version I had to factory wipe it and go from 8.1 > 10> 10166. Worth it though, win pho 8.1 is a total pile of cat piss.
