Windows *Free Upgrades 2 Pirates?* - Lifeless - Mar 19, 2015
So apparently Microsoft is upgrading members of cracked Windows 7 and Windows 8 for free.
The only downside is that it is limited to the Eastern Nation.
What do you guys think about this?
My Opinion;
I think it is amazing as I have cracked it myself and I might give this upgrade a test run, and if it runs good I will use it!

This forum does not endorse cracking or pirating any software, and I acknowledge that.

It might be nice, but I'm not surprised. Microsoft mine as well, they might pull in some extra sales that way with Windows 10.

The only cracked version I have is on my server running Windows 8. So that'll be nice to have as a genuine install.
Everything else I run is genuine.

This is because of china, 2/3 of the PCs in China have pirated windows. For the other pirates they really just want to show how good their OS is. So people will want to buy it when the 1 year trial is up. For me I don't care I own windows 8, and would gladly support the developer by buying windows 10. If I enjoy it anyway.

Everyone saying it's going to boost windows 10 sales is making me laugh. Windows 10 is free.

It's going to be free and you're still going to buy it?
That's dumb to be honest.

Also, the Pro editions etc. aren't going to be free.

Buy it after the 1st year is the plan. unless they have a deal when it comes out like the did with windows 8. I got windows 8 ultimate for like 30 bucks when it came out. That isn't breaking my bank.

They said that pirated versions can install Windows 10 but it will have no support.
So really you should just torrent it when its cracked lmao.

Hmm.. a corporation that makes its profit by selling software wants to give me its brand new software for free! No strings attached! Count me in!
... Windows 10 isn't even backdoored by the NSA, it is literally a front door.
