Habari njema kwa wabongo, kuinstall Windows 10 ambayo inatarajaiwa kutoka katikati ya mwaka huu itakuwa ni bure bila kujali kama unatumia Windows genuine au ya kupirate/wizi!
In what may turn out to be an historic move in the battle against piracy, Microsoft's Terry Myerson has announced that the software vendor will allow all customers - whether they're running genuine Windows software or a pirated version - to upgrade toWindows 10 for free.
The move is clearly targeted at the Chinese market, where two-thirds of all PCs run pirated versions of Windows. Speaking toReuters, Myerson said:
"We are upgrading all qualified PCs, genuine and non-genuine, to Windows 10," he said in a telephone interview with Reuters. The plan is to "re-engage" with the hundreds of millions of users of Windows in China, he said, without elaboration.
By giving away Windows 10 for free, at least for the first year, Microsoft is deviating from its regular sales model for the first time. The software maker announced earlier today that Windows 10 will be launching this summer in 190 countries, with the vendor focusing its attention on China.
