He seems somewhat indifferent to the advancement (and unsurprisingly fond of Paradox games). Shams Jorjani, VP of Acquisition, Portfolio Strategy & Unicorn Division at Paradox Interactive, didn't have any insight about unicorns, but did have a few things to say about DX 12. The sooner Microsoft moves past Windows 8, the sooner they can stop putting out significant updates for it, freeing them up to focus on forward progress.

But we see that free upgrade window as a push to wash away the sins of Windows 8 and get as many people as possible onto one OS.

“If somebody gives you something free in the exciting world of computing and technology, that typically means you're the product.”Īfter the year of free upgrades, Microsoft will be selling Windows 10, but Vining's skepticism is fair-we don’t know exactly what else Microsoft may be planning. Vining says that, for a small developer, the majority of the customers expect perfect performance out of the box “because Minecraft works on their machine, and it's 3D, so ‘why doesn't your game?’" He also points out that “if somebody gives you something free in the exciting world of computing and technology, that typically means you're the product.” But why would that happen if Windows 10 is free?

If Windows 10 suffers the same fate, DirectX 12 (and I’m 99% sure the full features of DX12 won't be available on Windows 7) will go underutilized. Vista didn't have a lot of fans, because it was absolute garbage. Back when Windows Vista launched, everyone who chose not to upgrade missed out on DirectX 10. My hope is that mass adoption of Windows 10 will defragment the PC gaming audience-we'll never all be on the same hardware (and wouldn't want it that way), but at least non-Linux PC gamers can be on the same version of Windows and DirectX.

What Microsoft meant was not “free upgrade for the first year,” but “upgrade for free within the first year.” It’s not a subscription: it’s a free, one-time upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10, which includes free future updates, the way Windows has always worked. To clarify, Microsoft’s poorly-worded announcement made it sound to some like the free upgrade would eventually involve a subscription plan.
