They are givving Windows 10 for free, if they wanted to get Money, they would not limit it only to Windows 10, and would not give the OS, for Free, what they want is Market Share, now that Apple, and Linux, are growing more and more, and now we have Valve's OS, they just want Market Share, isn't for the Money.

Windows 10 isn't free for new buyers. Only exsisting owners of 7/8, to a certain purchased time range. So they get PC sales too. Torjan Horse marketing. Free OS, to people who lost faith with Windows 8. We now have a potentional W10 store buyer. For apps and games. Goal is improved money. And fixing their OS image.

And Microsoft, have a Lot of money to burn with games  they don't need to release for PC, how much Revenue do you think that they will get ?, from what they will lose with Xbox One (they lose much more when something is purchased on PC, and not on Xbox), i don't think that will be Hundreds of Millions of US$, they spent 2.5 Billions on Minecraft, this money would be enough for Microsoft, to make all their games in the next 2-3 Generations, they Cancelled Fable, without even give a chance to it.

This is all suposition. Unless people have number proof, on how much MS makes per system and game. To PC game and OS sales. If the console was better. Then they wouldn't be doing this, to begin with. If the X1 was the #1 console. I bet they wouldn't be. But because it's not. They now have to branch out in other areas.

Windows 10 is a Fully Free OS, anyone with Pirate Windows 7, and 8, can update to it for free until the end of July.

 

And of course Microsoft, receive less Money, with a Xbox One, purchase, is 10 Games Guaranteed during the Life-spam, some years of Xbox Live, and Licensing Fee sales, as i said Windows Store, will not receive a lot of support from Costumers  for Third Party Tittles, Steam, already rule the Market for Third Party Games, EA, Ubisoft, and Square Enix, already are trying to change that, but Steam, grown in a Faster rate than all those 3 Combined.

And again, they don't get nothing from OS Sales, for the following Reasons.

 

They are giving it for free for anyone even with Un-official Windows Versions of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

Majority of PC Owners who use Windows do not play games, i think that less than 1-2% of the users play, the others would upgrade for the Next OS Anyways, so there is no use to devalue the Xbox One, just to bring some gamers to Windows 10.

We don't Know Xbox's Number of Sales, but of course they get much more with 1 Console purchase, than with the Exclusives that they sell on PC, they have over 20 Millions of Xbox's User Base, that is 100% of chances to sell a lot of games, the 200 Millions of Windows 10's Actual user Base, does not means that people will purchase those games only because they have Windows 10,   see how Many users Steam have ?, is more than 70% of the PC'S Digital Distriution Market, and only have  over 200 Millions of Users, Windows, have Billions of Users.
