Not only will W10 be a free upgrade from W7 and 8 in the first year of release, it will even be a free upgrade from pirated versions of those OS. :o

Microsoft most should just lower the prices of all of their OS's, then more people would buy it, but to give it away for free that's generous :)

btw i have Win 10 installed on a second pattion on my on, only need to find a LAN driver for it, as the mobo can't find one on it's own.

DX12 will give programmers the possibility to use on-board (unused) iGPU for parallel tasks. Smart move.
This will make it possible to let the built in GPU do some physics calculations for example.

I think DX12 will rock. Especially if all new games will support it or will be patched to be compatible.

Those graphics look awesome :eeek:
since installing win 8.1 I am now getting used to it, still don't love it but I don't hate it as much as I used to. :)
But I am definitely looking forward to win 10 especially as it will be a free upgrade. :banana-dance:

There is a small windows logo popping up on your task bar. If you click it, you can pre-load W10 as soon as it becomes available. I already activated it on one PC and reserved my W10 copy. But it does not appear on all of them yet.

W7 and W8 users have a free upgrade to W10.

Sound good, but i guess i'll just buy a copy once it gets released. I liked the preview i tried, so i see no point in waiting a year to buy it, so i might as well just buy it when it hits the marked ;)

If you activate your reservation, Windows 10 will be auto downloaded to your PC as soon as it becomes available.

All W7 and 8 users can upgrade free. You will be able to upgrade up to a year after the release. But i will do it straightaway on all PC's i think. As W10 is pretty good.

So, you don't need to buy it when you have W7 or 8. It is a free upgrade.
