Throughout next fall, Windows will be offering free upgrades for consumers. From Windows 10 on, the company will start to deliver automatic updates, profiting instead from built-in services like the Edge browser, Bing, and virtual assistant Cortana. And seeing as Bing became profitable as of last quarter, things seem to be looking up for the company.
In addition, starting 2016, Windows will make Windows 10 an automatic recommended update instead of an optional one. However, users can revert to an earlier version of Windows within the first 31 days of having Windows 10.
This comes to the chagrin of some users who are more comfortable with Windows 7, which is statistically the most widely used version of Windows, so customers that are comfortable with it will not easily part for the glitchy Windows 10, but the company seems to want to move forward and improve, so the update will hopefully welcome better developments of Windows software.
