- skyyler 11y agoFor most end consumers who didn't realize that they paid for a windows license when they bought their computer, it's just a free upgrade, no different than their iPhone updating.
- Piskvorrr 11y agoIndeed, and I'm definitely not complaining that Win8 SP2 is a free upgrade from Win7+ ;) Still, only holders of existing Windows licenses qualify for it - "Windows for free" is something different, IMNSHO. But you are quite correct that an average consumer would see this distinction as pointless nitpicking.
