Typical windows users don't notice those things so imagine Microsoft didn't focus on them in this version.

What will Microsoft be doing a year from now in regards to pricing and services?

So you won't see anyone actually working at Microsoft declaring they work at the company confirming, denying or correcting this issue.

Surely at least one person who works at microsoft reads hacker news, can any of you confirm or deny this ridiculousness?

Firefox did a good job of getting Microsoft to release IE7, but it was never compellingly better in the way that Chrome is.

I am giving Microsoft some room for redemption for many mistakes made in the Ballmer era.

You can try any website on Microsoft Edge (Windows 10 build 10162).

All I was saying is that the tremendous kudos some people are giving Microsoft for this response seem to be misplaced.

From what Microsoft has said, it sounds like a new motherboard will require a new copy of Windows 10, but other hardware upgrades will not.

The problem there is that Microsoft may only allow one upgrade per license key, in which case your previous upgrade voided that license key for future upgrades.

That in turn forced the centralization of the OS market under Microsoft (driving out Apple, CP/M, Acorn, Atari) and microprocessors under Intel (driving out Motorola and MOS technologies).

I've shipped at Microsoft and worked with my school administration, faculty, and student body to have the first large-scale hackathon hosted at my school.

Microsoft has a "fuck competitors up" mindset.

Obviously a single tech support agent being wrong about Microsoft's policy is not news.

Not working for Microsoft, but generally big companies have a don't say anything policy except redirect the person querying something to public relations.
