Reuters: Microsoft Corp is making its biggest push into the heavily pirated Chinese consumer computing market this summer by offering free upgrades to Windows 10 to all Windows users, regardless of whether they are running genuine copies of the software.

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.
and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.
on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.
Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.
"Win 10 is horrendous"
by that statement i know you haven't fully used it.
I get people who don't use it for spyware service reasons and i sympathies with them, but in no way of shape or form W10 is less than W8 or even 7, MS really outdo them selves with W10 and if it weren't of their spyware service i would say it's even better than XP.
I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.
lol this is great.. You guys act like Microsoft just started spying on people.. This has been going on for years
Microsoft needs to fix battery life, screen and app issues if Windows 10 tablets are to compete with Android or the iPad
The majority of the questions sent to Ask Jack are about Windows 10. Here are 10 recent ones, plus a bonus: how to stop or block the upgrade
If you cant beat em'...
Here's an update on where Microsoft stands on this issue, as stated earlier in comments on here about this subject.
"We have always been committed to ensuring that customers have the best Windows experience possible. With Windows 10, although non-Genuine PCs may be able to upgrade to Windows 10, the upgrade will not change the genuine state of the license. Non-Genuine Windows is not published by Microsoft. It is not properly licensed, or supported by Microsoft or a trusted partner. If a device was considered non-genuine or mis-licensed prior to the upgrade, that device will continue to be considered non-genuine or mis-licensed after the upgrade". So there you have it, if you have a pirated version of windows and upgrade it you don't get a genuine license to Windows 10 and your newly upgraded version stays non-genuine.
It's not free upgrade, It's just 1 year so basically you still need to pay. I doubt they would even upgrade cause they are probably using a forever free OS. lol.
