Windows 10 Upgrade Deadline 11 weeks away - Veteran MT

Posted: May 13th, 2016 - 5:13 pm

Saw this in one of the computing magazines, how come nobody is addressing this?  
..after 29th July this year – just 12 weeks away from today, you’ll no longer be able to get the new OS for free and you’ll have to pay a large sum to get it, even if you own a genuine version of Windows 7 or 8.1. 
Are you going to be willing to PAY through the nose to get Windows 10 after the free trial is over?  Even if you have a legitimate Windows 7 or 8 software on your current PC?  Can you afford to buy W10?  Do you know all of our jobs will go away in 11 weeks once the free W10 is no longer available if you upgrade? NONE of the MT programs support Windows 10.  If you download it before the deadline in 11 weeks, you cannot work at your current job anymore on that computer.  Do you have a spare computer to use that does not have Windows 10 on it exclusively for your job?  
Now the $64K question:  Are there any companies out there already working in Windows 10? I haven't heard of one yet.
