The windows update service that installed windows 10 is free, but windows 10 is not free any more than the quarters are. The exchange itself might be “free”, but the four quarters most definitely are not free. For example, I can go to the bank and trade a dollar bill for four quarters. Otherwise you wouldn’t be forced to trade anything for it. I still agree with bassbeast’s logic that windows 10 is definitely not “free”. Now, whether 7, 8.1, or 10 holds the most value is another discussion altogether.

If a person waits until after that time to upgrade, they have to pay for it, so the current upgrade is indeed “free”.
In about six months, no one is getting the “free upgrade” anymore, everyone is paying whether they bought 7/8.1 before or not. Now its just, opt into this Preview Program and get a new build every week or so.Įspecially now that they started documenting what updates actually change (Seriously, wtf was with that?) I hated waiting the 3 years or so that it took to bake a new release. I actually like that Windows is updating so often now. Overall though, I don’t know, I don’t really get that feeling at all. Personally I wouldn’t touch BitLocker because NSA. If that were to happen on a device encrypted with BitLocker, it would be very bad indeed.

With Windows 10 (even before I knew about this issue) I feel like the OS is only on loan to me, that Microsoft can come in at any time and modify or even revoke it entirely on a whim, and I’m screwed until I install an alternative OS. The whole mobile revolution, the walled garden stuff, I get it that people here aren’t huge huge fans, especially since this is OSNews and there are a fair amount of tinkerers here. I think this probably explains the sensitivity to what Microsoft is doing here. Two, a computer is not an e-reader it seems with each version of Windows in the past seven years we’ve lost a bit of “ownership” of our devices. Two things though…one, with the Kindle you can pay more upfront or pay a one time fee later to never see another ad on that device. Usually its just the Bing Image of the Day and some tips on using the OS. I’ve seen it occasionally on Windows, like I’m talking maybe once or twice a month. If this stays on Windows’ lock screen or at the far side of the Start menu, it won’t be that bad on the whole. With the Kindle, you only see the ads on your lock screen or as one line of text when you’re not reading or using other features. This though, at least to me, is a lot less bad, and dare I say useful in some contexts. Now I do take issue with what I consider an overly aggressive updating scheme and with less than transparent tracking measures built in with inconsistent controls. For example, I actually appreciate on my mobile device searching for something and seeing recommended apps embedded in the search results. I think one person’s adware is another person’s discovery service.

You get the product for free (Windows 10, provided you are upgrading) or very cheap (“Kindle with offers”) and the unobtrusive advertising pays the difference.

I guess it’s a good thing I only use it on my gaming PC if it were to stop working I’d probably not notice for a few days.įor me - granted I haven’t seen it yet - it’s akin to the minimal advertising on a Kindle e-reader.
