- cwyers 12y agoFrom the ZDNet article you linked: > The additional detail about free upgrades for "non-genuine" (i.e., pirated) copies of Windows was a surprise, and it leaves multiple unanswered questions. Earlier, Microsoft said that consumer PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 would be entitled to free upgrades to Windows 10 for the first year after the product is released. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed via email that the plan to allow free upgrades for non-genuine copies of Windows applies to all markets and is not limited to China. So it's not limited to China. But there are other "unanswered questions." I think it's prudent to wait for those to be answered, rather than assuming based on early news reports. Windows 10 isn't out until some nebulous summer launch anyway.
