    They can go the google route to make Windows a "free" OS, or they can just reduce the OS license fees.

    They're already considering dropping the fees for Windows 8.1 RT and Windows Phone.

    Win 8.1 Is only free to users that had Win 8 already other wise you have to pay.

    Doesn't hurt to think about a free-OS from MS, but it is very unlikely they'll want to spend millions of dollars to make an OS and get nothing paid in return.

    The million dollar question: which will come first? A free OS from Microsoft or ReactOS?

    I have tried ReactOS beta a few months ago on my Vbox. It kept crashing though with a BSOD for weird reasons. Though the project has tried to support Windows apps with using a Wine-like interface, It cannot really IMITATE Windows as the the source code is strictly controlled within Microsoft.

    If you'd ask me, ReactOS would come first. Microsoft doesn't really seem to release an OS like that at the the moment though but there is a verrrrrryy little chance that MS might do that. Also, you have to buy 8.1 too if you're using an OS other than just Windows 8

    The cost to upgrade to W8 was low, and with the way MS has been turning into Apple, why not? *Tongue

    You think the problem might lie with trying it as a virtual OS? When I install Windows as huest on a Linux host in VBox I can never get it to run properly. That may be down to me though... *Redfaceops:
