I heard that and assumed they meant if you bought the computer a year
before the upgrade. Would be nice if all 7 and 8.1 users will get it.


Should have googled before my post. It will be available to all current
users of 7 and 8.1:

I got an Android based tablet for Christmas and believe Android may be
the worlds largest OS and upgrades are apparently free. If MS wants to
be competitive, this is competition they must beat.
