As someone who makes a living off Windows software, surely you have paid for your license? Else you got absolutely no right to complain about anything breaking.

- _Understated_ 10y agoSo you are implying I stole Windows? That's your contribution to this?
- brudgers 10y agoI think it's more that the situation where a person could have a license compliant installation of Windows without having purchased [for some definition of "purchase"] a copy of Windows is non-obvious.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> So you are implying I stole Windows? Actually, when you claim that it is not a free upgrade because you need to have paid for a valid license for the software you claim to be using, you are implying that you stole Windows. The other poster appeared to be presuming that that implication was unintentional and inaccurate, and that the upgrade was indeed free for you.
- JdeBP 10y agoNo, xe was merely pointing out a cost that isn't factored into "free upgrade". You're probably not realizing that to people with long experience of Microsoft marketing, upgrading to Windows hasn't necessarily meant from Windows.
