Why would a free upgrade increase the market share? If anything, it will slow down the decline...

Because as of right now Windows 10 has no market share. And Win 7 - 8.1 has about 70%. Those people are able to upgrade.

My question was not pertaining to W10, but against Linux, Mac, Android...as the OP said.

Even if all W7 and W8 users upgrade for free, Windows marketshare will still remain the same...

Well the free upgrade isn't meant for market share increase then. The features should handle that.

I'm not arguing that...

I think that their main goal is to increase tablet and phone marketshare.
