Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella has no plans to ditch Windows and, instead, he's trying to make it compatible with everything.
Microsoft’s pushy Windows 10 upgrade tactics have finally come back to haunt them. Travel agency owner Teri Goldstein swears up and down that she didn’t want the upgrade and never asked for it, either. She told the Seattle Times she had never heard of Windows 10— not until she found it installed on her system and it started crashing on a regular basis. That’s not the sort of thing you need happening to a computer that you use to run your small business.
Microsoft might be making one final push to scare you into upgrading to Windows 10 while it’s still free, but there’s a silver lining to that annoying cloud. Yes, come July 29th, even though a steep $119 price increase is on the cards, Microsoft has said that they will discontinue all that bothersome “Get Windows 10” business that keeps popping up on your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine. WinBeta’s Zac Bowden was curious what would happen once the free upgrade program came to an end, so he contacted Microsoft for clarification. According to Geek.com, Microsoft responded by saying the "nagware" “will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide.”
On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that over 270 million PC users are running Windows 10. The news comes just over a year after the operating system's release. Microsoft confirmed that this makes Windows 10 "the fastest growing version of Windows," both for personal and business use. The holiday shopping season was a big boost for the tech giant, since 40% of the devices running Windows 10 were activated after Black Friday. As of January, Windows 10 was running on over 200 million devices.
In its pursuit to push out its newest operating system to as many consumers as possible, Microsoft has set the Windows 10 update on previous versions of Windows to "recommended" status.
