it's still free for people who do the upgrade before august.

Don't panic people

I almost forgot about that besides the 1 billion times Microsoft already alerted me.

The next step: Xbox life gold subscription for Win10

...cause you also play all them games, you know.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Okay guys be real...

How long until MS starts implimenting ad-banners into the free versions of windows 10, to get some ad revenue?



That would generate a butt load of cash. I doubt it but if they do and gamers decide to drop out, how do they expect to play X1 Exclusives? Back to Xbox haha. They cant really lose, no matter which way they take. I hope they dont do it though. 



lol windows for enterprise is already a service and you pay for per month / year and seat
this is for small business. that why this refers to Windows 10 Enterprise E3. There is also Windows 10 Enterprise E5

ofc this will happen. it just won't be mandatory
but you will get free games and better deals. and whatever benefit
xbox live is already on windows 10. xbox live gold, will follow. but dont bee foolish and thing it will be seperate subcription. if you have gold, you have gold for both platforms

I bet home users would accept a small monthly subscription to use the OS.

They're already conditioned in subscription services.

I remember when people thought a netflix subscription for mailed dvd's was stupid when blockbuster was on every corner.



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?

You don't. There are enough games to play in this world.



Send a Friend Request On PSN :P

Jeez that's one hell of a clickbait title, Surprised it hasn't been fixed by a mod already.



Windows 10 suck! I can't see why some would want to upgrade it from the much superior Windows 7.
Direct 12 has been proven time and time again that it make games run worse than Direct 11. Lot of people tested on Warhammer recently (my favorite PC game currently) and it ran like a$$!

Saw the article this morning. Clickbait (its for business only).

It pertains to Azure. Azure IS xboxlive.

While it's currently only for business, this could easily develop into windows users paying for live.

Sadily this is probably the direction they will take.  Once they phase out XBOX consoles in 5 years they will want to be able to get that LIVE money back somehow...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
