Tbh sounds fair. I mean keeping systems secure is not cheap task . If we can kep using w10 without all the “free AI “ shit , is not bad . I mean they will get their income from w11 from it on users… From users data. They should add windows clean with the office subscription and a not clean option . I would not say free. We are used to think that free is better, but there are a lot of time invested in development and updates. Linux free distros are not so secure, they even do a statement you have to agree to use them. that’s why companies pay Read hat .

...windows 10 was free to a lot of people; it's a pretty solid OS and i'd be happy to pay a fair price for ongoing support...

Unless you pirated W10 it was not free. The price of laptop and PC hardware with Windows per-installed is subsidized.

...i should clarify: upgrades from windows 7/8 were free...
