It could very well be that Microsoft has decided to give something away without expecting anything in return.
Given their track record, it seems somewhat unlikely.

That link doesn't say anything about the inevitable updates for Windows 10 being free.
Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but this IS microsoft we're talking about here.
There has to be something here which is screwing over users, we just have to figure out what it is.
I understand MS wants to make Windows 10 a subscription model.
I wonder if that means this free upgrade will be suddenly start asking for subscription money (i.e. turn ransomware) in a year.
I'd like to say "Why don't you submit a story?", but...

The driver pushed the gas pedal hard, the car obeyed.
It's the correct response, even if it hypothetically had pedestrian detection.

Oh how I wish the person could be recalled, though I don't think his mother would enjoy it.
What is "autonomous movement"? If I put my car in first gear and release all the pedals, it'll start moving forward without me touching any part of the car.
In this particular case we're talking about "autonomous breaking"; a safety feature.
If you make an auto manufacturer 100% liable for any additional safety feature not working 100%, they simply won't implement any additional safety feature at all.

Indeed, for Jony Ive is the God of rounded corners.
Nobody can make corners quite as rounded as Him.
He is the Angle and the Radius of corner roundation.

Praise the Omniroundcornerand's name.
They can pry the porn from my warm, wet hands!
C64 Geos did it better and earlier than Win3.
Win3 really didn't offer much over single applications with GUI's.
Win95 was the first release where I thought that this OS might hang around for a while..
