Probably just datamineing you, and selling your info.

Oh and they get a additional potential windows store user, as well each time someone upgrades.

 

Microsoft is gonna kill .exe files, and make everything be UWP which only works though their store.

The aim is to do what steam does with games, take a cut of the profits, and force everyone to sell stuff through their store.

Kill .exe files???? Can you even do that? I mean that is the norm and every app is opened that way so does that mean every app becomes useless?

It can't, because there is a ton of Windows services that rely on .exe file support. :P

As for Datamining, mobile OS's have been doing it for years, why is it a problem only if Windows does it?

UWP is garbage though and it will likely falter for PC gamers, it's hard to displace something that people genuinely love, like Steam.

Gaming is something a bunch of people do on PC's so once again please do some research before spouting off nonsense.

As I said, no reason to upgrade unless you use obscure features.

Rubbish. There is tons of reasons to upgrade, maybe not for you, but for plenty of others there is.
