Well, seems like there is a possibility that Win10 is *not* free after

After that period – not to mention for standalone copies of the OS – the
asking price is still a mystery."

This is not a good news as I am not willing to pay more than the price I
already paid with Win8. If its true that Win10 is asking more money
after 2016, then I think I will stick to Win8 as long as it runs and is
supported.

I don't know why people have so much trouble reading. It's free if you
download and install it during the first year of its release. After
the first year of its release, you will have to pay to obtain it but
not to use it.

Thats not what they say on this wweb site:

so who is right? well, i hope you are right .

if you are right, why people then confuse like this ?


How long Win8 will be supported? I Think I heard that win7 is supported
at least 5 more years. So I guess win8 also at least 5 years.

Also, it is not good at all if it is unknown whether people have to pay
after one year with Win10. Why? Because if I have to pay then I have to
do again a new installation with Win8 after using Win10 one year. That
will be a lot of work going backwards (because I have propably installed
many new programs with win10 and now I have to re-install all of them if
going back to win8).

What are you guys going to do if Win10 price is uncertain? Are you going
to take a risk and still upgrade to it or stay with win8?

I trust Microsoft. While people hated Vista, I thought it was pretty
innovative and fairly stable. Windows ME stunk, but that's the only
Microsoft OS I really thought was awful even though it introduced
great new features.

been using many months now win8. and am happy with it.
