Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users this summer, but Microsoft is also extending its offer to software pirates. We are upgrading all qualified PCs, genuine and non-genuine, to Windows 10, says Terry Myerson, Microsofts Windows chief, in an interview with Reuters. The move means that thousands, perhaps millions, of machines will get a free copy of Windows 10 even if a license has not been properly acquired. Anyone with a qualified device can upgrade to Windows 10, including those with pirated copies of Windows, says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. We believe customers over time will realize the value of properly licensing Windows and we will make it easy for them to move to legitimate copies. http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/18/8241023/windows-10-free-for-software-pirates |

because of the lack of popularity of windows 8 and 8.1 microsoft want to distance themselves from these versions as much as possible hence the skip to 10. its also been claimed that windows 9 may have caused source code conflicts with the old 9x operating systems such as windows 98, although that seems a bit odd to me lol.
