Windows 10 Coming this Summer
Thursday, March 19, 2015 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Many thought it would be later in the year for the holiday season, but apparently Microsoft is confident that Windows 10 will be ready for a summer release.
"We continue to make great development progress and shared today that Windows 10 will be available this summer in 190 countries and 111 languages. Windows has always been global with more than 1.5 billion users around the world and here in China hundreds of millions of PCs operate Windows today. That’s why it was particularly fun to show our latest global innovation, Windows Hello, on stage for the first time, and to feature a number of Windows 10 customizations for the China market, such as Cortana in Mandarin."

Just read an article that stated that even illegal versions of windows8.1 will be able to upgrade an get a legal copy in the first year, not sure if that is the truth but the article says so
Guess we will see about that if 10 goes live.
Actually it's everyone running illegal copies of win7 and win8. But the timeframe is much smaller, like you get a few months to pick it up for free. But even if you have an illegal copy, and you pick windows 10 up for free, it's a real license that you can keep using.
Here's the original, but now it looks like they might be backing down a bit.
I read another one that states that they took that statement back, so illegal version will not be free to become legal.
MS cant make up their mnid on this issue i guess.
Guess a lot gets flipped and twisted in the news reports aswell always sad if you cant have a proper twitter statement from the source to be sure
