Microsoft experimenting with free version of Windows 8.1

ninehours · February 28, 2014

Would you upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1 if it were free (or low-cost), i have never felt like updating from win7 but if it were a free update, might be tempted to give it a try

currently using windows 8.1, its not that bad actually. Just make sure that if you do update, that the programs you always use are compatible with windows 8.1 (had a minor scare with Autodesk products).

I might. I like Windows 7 personally, and I think I'd rather wait until windows 9 or whatever comes out in the hopes that it'll be good again. If it was free, though...

Hmmmm, that Bing though.... I'd rather have a full version of Windows 7 than a cut down version of 8.
