Have 'they' salted the slugs in windows 10 yet?

Takes me half a second to click the "X" in the top right corner each time I log in.

Eventually they will start charging for W10 and stop supporting previous versions

Well I'm sure that previous versions are going to stop being supported, that's historical.

They'll probably not charge for W10 ever.

Microshaft claimed that W10 was going to be the last of these OS's.

I have it from an insider that there will not be a W11 or W12; instead they're going to call the next system "Panes" which I feel is a quite more realistic name they should have started using after W98SE ran it's course. Everything since then has been a real pain!

Well, since they said it would only be free the first year...

Upgrades from Win7+ are free for the first year, though I expect they will extend that date - they've already announced that they intend to eventually make the upgrade a recommended update (one that is automatically applied without asking you) in windows update which would conflict with taking away the free upgrade.

But Win10 is NOT free. If you're getting a free upgrade its because you paid for Win7/Win8 as part of the computer you bought (assuming very few people here purchased windows separately, though there are a few IT-types around). And if you buy a new computer you get a new Win10 license, and that is included in the cost of the PC for you as well.

MS looked at their info and realized that almost no-one was upgrading their windows versions, so they made the upgrade free.
