Covering Windows 10 Briefing

[cooperb21]

Even if its only free for one year thats pretty good of Microsoft to get users to try and use windows 10 after what they did with 10 its a good move.

 Upgrade to win 10 for 8.1/7/windows phone 8.1 for a hole year for free, for the first year then you will have to buy windows 10.

Whole.

 

Does this mean buying a permanent license or a subscription. There better be a permanent license option.

[Psykomantis00]

They are trying and you are mad at them for doing it.

I'm mad at them for not doing enough. 

[Eroda]

When did they say anything about a sub model?

 

 

What are you talking about it's not a subscription it's free to upgrade for the first year of it's lifetime.

 

i was talking about if they did, but it can be interpreted many ways

 

1. sub model first year free

2.as you say 1 year to upgrade for free then enjoy

3. upgrade to 10 free for the first year then you need to purchase it ie 1 yr trial

It's a free upgrade for the first year of release that is it nothing else, then you must buy it after a year.

Today was a monumental day for us on the Windows team because we shared our desire to redefine the relationship we have with you – our customers. We announced that a free upgrade for Windows 10 will be made available to customers running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 who upgrade in the first year after launch.*

 

This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no additional charge. With Windows 10, the experience will evolve and get even better over time. We’ll deliver new features when they’re ready, not waiting for the next major release. We think of Windows as a Service – in fact, one could reasonably think of Windows in the next couple of years as one of the largest Internet services on the planet.

If you are not sure don't spread misinformation and go edit your other posts, here you go

 

The fucking moment I have time to watch they end the stream, arrrrrggghhhh

 

Now I'll have to read the whole live blog

Also great work @cesrai

You can rewatch it here

Yeah I don't get it, it's not bad it's freaking amazing.

[cooperb21]

Yeah I don't get it, it's not bad it's freaking amazing.

Yea assuming its actually the full product and not limiting in any way its really good. Just make sure you can pay after year for full thing or you will be without a functioning os.

[AlexGoesHigh]

I'm mad at them for not doing enough. 

THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!?!?!?!?! don't just say it you want more, tell us what the fuck do you want them to do more about, porting games to windows, well the only reason that isn't happening is because they don't want to cannibalize xbox, the only reason they make first party game is to sold console so those people buy third party games which ms take almost a 50% cut at, they are a bloody business, its their good damn job to make money, they are the third most valuable company in the world, after apple and some petrol company (i think) they are worth more money that google and they didn't make it, giving away shit free,

 

yes it would be nice if their marketing about mor pc gaming stuff was more game, but right now its about improvements to the platform the grand majority of pc games runs at, they are launching dx12 with it, they are launching a shadowplay like feature that's independent on the hardware, they announced a game (though the game people gave the fuck the most) they announced a multiplatform initiative for games between xbox one and win 10, yes its stupid to put us against other people in competitive shooters, but shooters aren't the only games out there, and biggest of all, THEY FUCKING MADE WINDOWS 10 FREE FOR ALMOST EVERYONE THAT HAS A FUCKING PC WITH WINDOWS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS!!!!!!!!!

It's a full product, after a year of release of win10 it's free for a year for win 7,8,8.1 and windows phone 8.1 users.

Some many angry people in this thread. I am glad that Windows 10 will be coming out and I will upgrade from windows 7. Now I just need a directx 12 gpu. Been using windows since Windows 95.

Because some people are being so stupid, unreasonable, spreading misinformation -I'm sorry guys-, good for you man. 

 

Holo seriously looks like it could be freaking awesome

Yes it does.

[dlf]

Holograms? I have some ideas if we ever get a holodeck like room (star trek). Free Windows 10 for 7/8(.1?) users is nice . . .

[zacRupnow]

The hologram stuff is cool, I'd buy a pair of sunglasses with health stats in hologram if I could have it in the form of the the HUD from Crysis, preferably 2 or 3.

[Victorious Secret]

@cesrai, excellent post and for the most part excellent discussion. 

Normally I'd beg for a forum badge for myself, but in all honesty you deserve one. Keep up the good work, the community needs more posters like you.

based on the fact that they already have an app to create 3d objects in augmented reality for this device I assume having a HUD is really easy and already doable

So for the next year Windows 10 is free for anyone that has Windows 8/8.1 AND Windows 7? That's actually pretty cool, this might be one of the best things Microsoft's ever done.
