I've just spent a fortune on the latest gear available. Wonder when it will be obsolete? Any bets of the end of the year?
Obsolescence is profit.

Well, yes, but windows 10 isn't free, and last I checked windows 7 -> win 10 upgraded version is the same as windows 10 purchased.I'll grant you that anyone using Siri (or the like), facebook twitter et al. shouldn't really be complaining about privacy. Those of us who don't however, feel we have every right to be concerned about the amount of data being collected by firms who have a poor record of security in the first place.
Simple rule of thumb: If a service is being given away for free, there's a good chance it's YOU (well your details anyway) that's being sold.
Personally I've upgraded, and I know people with win 7 that have not, they've never been nagged by a popup, it just sits in the notification area, and that's it.Honestly, injecting an unblockable nag-popup reminiscent of malware into the userexperience of Windows7 to push people to become beta testers doesn't really sound like they listen to complaints nor that they actually care about their users.

Well, yes, the upgrade is free, but once that offer expires it won't be, and then it will cost money as it does now if you purchase it directly, so it isn't really a 'free' product.All of my upgrades from Windows 7 to Windows 10 have been free - downloaded directly from Microsoft.

yes? which is my point previously it isn't a free product, and as such, people even those that have upgraded for free, can use it as any other product of theirs that they own, meaning they can also fully expect microsoft not to compromise their product.If owners of Windows 7,8,8.1 choose to ignore the free upgrade notifications on their PCs then that is, of course, their choice.
It is not unreasonable to expect that Microsoft will charge for new copies of the O/S right now or upgrades after the well notified free upgrade period has expired.

But yes, definitely annoying if it does that on other computers and definitely is not a behaviour that should be done, personally though I wonder if it is a region thing? since I know some places such things would definitely be illegal to do to people's legit purchased product.
All five of my windows machines are on win 10 now. It's really nice.
