Official Windows 10 Thread: Installation and Issues (check first post)

[kkn13]

In that case why any user(Genuine Licensed holder of Windows OS)would wait for 2nd year?????????????????

its a marketing strategy by Microsoft imho
they will lure more people to upgrade from Windows 7 or even XP -- two versions of windows which people refuse to upgrade from
that way,once everyones on a Windows 8+ OS,itll be easier to manage windows updates etc and will eliminate people from switching to Chrome OS or even Mac OSX since windows has been having radical changes since Windows 8 and not everyone is liking it(I get why people dont like the interface on a non-touch but I dont get why people dont see how much better the OS is over even Windows 7)

you dont need to wait. in case you wait, you will not get it free. otherwise you will get it free provided you install it

I will pass the Technical Preview this time, and wait for atleast a Consumer preview.
Windows 10 looks good this time, (some says since every alternate version of Windows is good ).

4s,5s,6s(next) are the more stable ones
iphone 4 had antennaegate which was fixed in 4s
iphone 5 had button issues which were fixed in 5s
iphone 6(and 6+) have bendgate which should be fixed in 6s

ipad 4 fixed issues but still present compared to ipad 2
ipad air overheating
ipad air 2 fixed issues

3rd gen(ivy bridge) again good
4th gen(haswell) heating and performance issues
5th gen(broadwell

android-
jelly bean- bad overall
kitkat-most stable version of android

yes right...
development is a process.. you can't built fully functional device in 1 year without any bug.. and problem is that debugging is made by users nowadays... so we are debugger..

 

[theserpent]

But,WIN 10 will be free only in 1st year then you have to pay

very true!

we dont know exactly yet
it could also mean its free if you upgrade within a year and that any new activations from the 2nd year will be payable
remember they want to boost marketshare of all their products,so it makes sense
apple uses the exact same strategy and it works rather well
google is gonna lose out because chrome os hasnt exactly been making waves,i mean you'd rather use regular linux on a netbook instead of a locked down,limited linux like chrome os or even use android on a netbook
so i feel microsoft will get more marketshare for xbox and windows phone and tablet with the launch of windows 10 if this strategy is what they are aiming for

 

[theserpent]

Hope, it's not a subscription based OS just like their newer office 360(Isn't it a yearly payable thingy?).
If it is, they will surely loose quiet a large % of their market share(original OS).
But I do not see how it will work? Maybe they will clearly mention during the update.That Windows 10 Update will be free for the year and you will be charge xx $/Year, Or else people are going to be really disappointed, hardly anyone is going to pay.

i doubt they would do that
unless they want to lose marketshare and bring down the company

Myerson clarified that Windows 10 users will still get free updates and support for the lifetime of the OS, exactly like past versions of Windows (like XP and Windows 7's Service Packs, for example). There's no subscription model for updates or support or continuing to use the OS. Myerson's reference to Windows "as a service" simply meant that Microsoft plans to update the OS with smaller, more regular updates rather than the big, chunky updates of past Service Packs.
A year after Windows 10 is first available, it will no longer be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users. Microsoft will then sell Windows 10 the same way it has sold past versions of Windows. MS hasn't set a specific price yet, but Myerson said the price will likely be comparable to past versions of Windows. Windows 8 costs $120 on Amazon, for instance.
Update: It seems there's still confusion. It is very clear from this post that for the first year it's available, you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you have Windows 7 or 8. You will not pay for it. After that year is up, nothing will happen to your Windows 10 license. If you do not upgrade within that year, however, you will have to pay for an upgrade. The offer expires after a year, not the upgrade.
