they gonna be open about third parties so they pay MS money to disable their programms for windows users for them

Neh, we will see about that when/if it actually does happen but as of right now, it isn't really a big deal at all since its the standard Microsoft applications.

of course they will. Everything has its price, there must be a reason for Windows 10 being free. It makes perfect sense getting money from linences for third party programms to disable pirated versions.

Yea it does have a price but I doubt this is how they are going to do it. A free upgrade will make millions of PCs all have the same versions of windows which will let MS earn that money back in plenty of other ways such as people buying stuff from their windows store and data mining people to sell to the ad companies and etc.

Stopping piracy in that method will have tons of other issues like conflicting with the other forms of DRM as well as possible lawsuits if the software falsely gets disabled and tons of other things. And its not like windows 10 will all of a sudden make windows 7 and 8 not work so I doubt what MS wants to do is make people not upgrade by implementing stuff like that. MS already has tons of ways to make their money back so I doubt it will be what you are suggesting

We will see what happens in the end though, my windows 8.1/7 keys still work so I got no worries!
