Microsoft should follow Apple move and make its latest Windows 8.1 operating system free to all Windows users. The time has come for Microsoft to take "a page from Apple’s playbook" and offer existing Windows users a free upgrade. Google has been selling Chromebook laptops with Chrome OS (free updates forever) and is currently selling like a hot cake. I have already moved away from Windows to Chrome OS and will do that for home PC. I bet there are many fence-sitters who are in the same boat and Microsoft has a chance to pull them by offering free upgrade.

- sn0v 13y agoExcept Apple make money on the hardware, Google on the services, and Microsoft would be shooting itself in the foot by cutting off its main revenue source, not to mention the bad press it would generate if Windows 8 failed to run sufficiently well on some of those (understandably) outdated machines.
