A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:

Since you don't get a key, does this mean that after July 29th 2016 there will be no way to reactivate? If I buy a new motherboard in 2018, I'll have to choose between paying for 10 or reinstalling 7?

Edit: Having to pay for a license at that point doesn't seem super unreasonable, but I think I'd rather just pay money now and install with that key instead of dealing with the hassle down the road on the day that Windows decides my poo poo's not Genuine anymore.

I fully expect this one year free upgrade thing to be one of those things they just keep postponing indefinitely because there will be a shitstorm when people's computers are held hostage because they can't reactivate after an upgrade.

On the new fast ring Windows 10 preview with the built in Skype. I use Skype when playing GTA in friends, and the messaging app mutes Skype when I switch to GTA. And the old Skype app now crashes whenever I try to get in a call.

Anyway to get the audio to work in the background while playing games?
