Why does this article fixate on Google? For the clicks? We all know that most of Windows won't be free until they've a sure-fire way to make profits on top of that. And the answer lies in iOS and Mavericks more than Google. Give away the OS to build the ecosystem, sure Android also does that. But only Apple's making money at it. If it goes free, it's going to look a lot more like iOS than Android -- a lot more like Xbox One, in fact, which also gets free updates. Sure, it might look like Office Starter edition, and be ad supported, but for productivity purposes, ads are the enemy and so that model has less chance at success. Ultimately, Microsoft wants in on this "free-to-play" OS market, and when they do it, you can bet it will be in their interest, and it will exclude businesses and still offer premium add-on packs for home users. Let's not go crazy, this is, after all, Microsoft. When would they ever release just one SKU of anything?
