There have now been voices aplenty implying that Microsoft is thinking about offering a free Windows 8 to Windows 10 upgrade, although not everyone is pleased with this type of strategy.
Though nothing is official in this respect, yet.
Windows 10 was on the final day of September, and also the Windows 10 Technical Preview at the start of this month, but through it all Microsoft has not talked concerning the pricing scheme.
But a free lunch also have an important impact on new PC sales, and could cause problems for hardware sellers. Some OEMs have expressed this dissatisfaction on this. Privately, of course.
All this comes from this that reveals that laptop makers in particular have taken a little pessimistic mindset about Windows 10, considering that this type of promo is actually a doubled edged sword for the industry.
They consider that no one would actually have a must purchase new hardware in this way.
Rational point, perhaps, but does anyone expect people that lately bought new Windows 8 desktop computers, notebooks as well as tablet computers to update to newer models this easily?
Windows 8 hardware sales have actually just started to pick up, it must also be said.
Regardless, Microsoft really need to work this out the manner that is right, discover the equilibrium that is perfect. Which is to say lending a little hand to the hardware vendors, while convincing the present user base to update.
Easier said than done.
