Smart really... make a terrible OS and have it preinstalled on all new computers for a couple of years, release a "fix" which restores the stripped out functionality and you can charge people for the upgrade they wouldn't bother to pay for if Windows 8 was actually good.

Why stop at 10? Make it Windows 11, and claim that it's one better.

Free upgrade only applies to retail copies (not OEM) - which nobody buys, since every computer comes with an OEM copy anyway. These people are probably outnumbered by Debian/kFreeBSD users.

As a linux user i ask myself whats new in Windows 10, feels like old thing from a linux user perspective.
