I agree that the language "This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no additional charge." found on Terry Myerson's blog ( http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/01/21/the-next-generation-of-windows-windows-10/ http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/01/21/the-next... ) is troubling at worst and confusing at best.
Since when does Microsoft decide what the "supported lifetime of the device" is? All of my devices running Windows were hand built by me from best-of-breed components that I frequently swap out.
I could see it making sense if it was for the supported lifetime of Windows 10 because that at least is something where Microsoft should be expected to define a final end of support date. But that is not what it says, and even that would be odd...Microsoft is going to either turn off my OS when they decide to no longer support it, or make me start paying to use it at that point?
Makes no sense any way you slice it, at least as currently (poorly) communicated.
