On Windows 10 upgrade
Maybe some people will want to keep Windows 8.1 instead of upgrading to
system that we don't know the conditions of use. Some recent software are offering software subscriptions with payments per month or year, like Office 365 for example. Perhaps Windows 8.1 will be last system we can ever own. |

I don't think we even own that one. If you read the user agreement, I'll bet you find that it says the OS is licensed, not sold. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Okay, I prefer that way. I can use it as long as 5 years or more without
worring about fees and constant updates. "A" escreveu na mensagem ...

You own the license, not the software, and the license comes with restrictions on use. The key issue is whether it's a one time payment that entitles you to use it forever if you want to. I suspect we will be able to get Win10 for the same sort of one time payment entitling us to perpetual use as we have for all previous versions of windows. |
