[rumour] Windows 10 $2 upgrade amnesty for pirates


Recommended Posts

Just FYI this is crap/pre-test/place holder for future usage.

 

Yeah I suspect it is something being tested that some are seeing due to a bug or something.

Funny how they actually charge your card. Plus after you pay the $2 they just give you a generic key.

 

None the less i'll be curious to see what happens when the RTM comes out and I sign into my Microsoft account :D

 

That being said ... I did beat you to the punch! ;)

I think they need to give windows 10 free to vista users so we are all on the same page and then they can focus on just 3 OSes instead of 4!

The only issue with that ...is the #$%(*#&$()*@#$ Vista Basic. Some of those pieces of crap shipped with 512 megs of ram. I saw one of them, it was one of those "Free computers" the local telephone company was giving people for signing a 2 year contract. OMG was that thing slow. Ran better after installing more Ram. Though I suppose Vista Basic users just wouldn't be given for the free upgrade.

7 runs better on a 512MB RAM system than Vista ever did and even XP!
