As we predicted at iGuRu.gr even before the end of free upgrade offer from Windows 7 to Windows 10 from Microsoft, the company continues to offer free upgrades from its older operating systems, now implicitly.
On May 6, 2016 we reported through the article / opinion “Windows 10 and Microsoft Success Story"
The real bet for Microsoft will retain the adoption of Windows 10 when the free upgrade offer expires. The company reiterated today that users of Windows 7 and 8.1 have only three months (29 July of 2016 is the last day) for the free upgrade, and then the prices will be at 119 dollars for Home Edition, and 199 for the Pro version.

Meanwhile the data they continue to fill the company's big data dumps.
For many reasons, Windows is still vital to the company, and therefore starting their moods pushed very aggressively to adopt Window 10.
After a bunch of Internet complaints Microsoft she admitted openly her aggressive behavior, but it seems to continue to promote its functionality, essentially disregarding what it had announced.
As it seems, the adoption of the operating system by many users (and essentially their removal from Windows 7) is more important than Microsoft's once again caught up with what it announces.
