Windows 10: Microsoft Still Not Willing to Offer Windows 10 for Free to Pirates

Microsoft Still Not Willing to Offer Windows 10 for Free to Pirates - Softpedia

 

MS is obviously not taking that too seriously as they could clamp down much more. To me it looks like they are more concerned to spread OS to as many computers as possible while still making big money on it. At the same time they make it bothersome to transfer legal OS after a simple change of MB for instance, so much so that few times in the past I thought to just simply apply a widely available crack to my otherwise legal, retail copy than to go thru resetting of activation on another MB or computer.

 

Guys,
Microsoft do not even know if you have a legal copy or not
As a matter of fact, I think they do not even care.
As long as you install Windows 10, it is revenue for them.
So stop battering each other.
Not everyone can afford a genuine copy of Windows
Everyone one is not living in a first world country!!
If you upgraded from a OS that was activated by an activator, Not even Microsoft knows, if your copy is real or not.
So i don't see what's the fuss here.

 

The fuss is because I don't want to reward people who steal, an OS or anything. And if you can't afforded Windows there's Linux.. ever here of that before??

Theft is theft and it should never be rewarded.

 

Well i guess that is not your choice to make.
If Microsoft approves it, so be it.
Nothing you or me can do about it

 

You're right about that part. Pilfering in the stores for instance costs companies money and that translates into higher prices for paying customers. Windows would probably cost less if everybody payed for them. On the other hand, MS is contributing to some extent to piracy by not providing a very cheap but basic version of windows for those that can't afford full price with all the bells and whistles. By not supplying small programs coming with standards windows and which they don't make in house, they could cut price down to a good degree. I for instance replace most of them by other 3rd party programs and would prefer to pay less for OS without them.
Must confess that I wouldn't be running W10 if it wasn't for it being free upgrade. Wouldn't have W8 either if it didn't cost 24 bucks if limited upgrade offer didn't exist at the time. W7 is still a very viable OS.

 

I agree. People who never paid MS so much as a dime for Windows don't deserve free Windows 10 now. But I do think it's likely 10 will eventually be offered free to everybody who has a legal Windows license, no matter which edition.

 

That is a really good deal. Thanks for your help to that person.. be safe.

 

Good job! I'm guessing some cake or a few biscuits with that coffee wouldn't go amiss?

 

For me the crux of the issue is I spent money on 7/8 and I detest the idea that anyone who didn't pay could get a free upgrade. Like I said there are some great distributions of Linux and they're free.

 

I understand you frustration,
But life is not always fair to everyone
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
This is a concept all over the world, and Microsoft knows it.
So look out for yourself, and always make sure you get the best deal.
Cheaper, Free ....Whatever!!
Make sure you are the Winner!!

Cheers

 

You're right.. but I still can be frustrated from time to time. *Wink

 

Sure,
You're not the only one.
I get a lot of those

 

It might be good for you, keeps you on your paws.
