I've also read volume licensing doesn't get the free upgrade... Not that I want to put it on all the work PCs any time soon. People are barely getting the hang of Windows 7 after upgrading from XP 3 or 4 years ago...

I'm quite fortunate in that 80% of our users are on 8.1 already, so the jump to 10 will be less traumatic
Haha yeah but I'm trying to show him that he is jumping the gun by thinking that it will be cheaper to buy Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 10 instead of buying Windows 10. Since there isn't enough information yet.
Also I feel sorry for people who aren't already on at least Windows 7.
I actually have Win8.1 licenses we got through software assurance. But no one is getting it
Didn't Microsoft state somewhere along the line that Windows 10 will also be a free upgrade to those that have pirated copies of Windows? Meaning you don't have to purchase any Windows at all. Not sure where I read this though.
Yeah I also read that a while back.
What are MS's business case though? How are they planning on making money on this Windows if they offer it for free? Will the Enterprise editions not be free for example? I'm curious about this.
They will allow you to upgrade a pirated copy but you will then need to activate it by buying a legitimate key, they are not giving it away for free. Looks like I will be getting a free upgrade to the Pro version.
Prepare for the attack of the paid for applications and huge issues with installing "unverified" applications
Where did you get that idea?
