Yes, Free!!!! No joke, though Microsoft profits are going to fall from a cliff (probably by almost a 1/3). Revenues will also take around a 10 billion hit.

About time MS got with the times, who charges for OS upgrades?lol
But it also begs the question what they will be making money from now on, the only profits they ever make are from charging for software updates. All their hardware businesses like Tablets, Phones and XB1 are huge loss makers.
