There have now been voices aplenty indicating that Microsoft is thinking about offering a free Windows 8 although not everyone is pleased with such a strategy.
Even though nothing is official in this aspect, yet.
Windows 10 was on the last day of September, and also the Windows 10 Technical Preview in the start of this month, but through it all Microsoft hasn't talked about its next generation operating system's pricing scheme.
But a free lunch possess a substantial impact on new PC sales, and could cause problems for hardware sellers. Some OEMs have even expressed this dissatisfaction on this. Privately, needless to say.
All this comes from this that reveals that laptop manufacturers in particular have taken a little negative outlook about Windows 10, considering that such a promo is actually a doubled edged sword for the industry.
They consider that no one would actually possess a must buy new hardware in this way.
Rational point, maybe, but does anyone expect folks that recently bought new Windows 8 desktops, notebooks as well as tablets to upgrade to newer models this easily?
Windows 8 hardware sales have actually just begun to pick up, it must be said.
Regardless, Microsoft really should work this out the way that is right, discover the equilibrium that is perfect. Which would be to say giving a little hand to the hardware vendors, while convincing the current user base to update.
Easier said than done.
