It seems that Microsoft is mulling offering a free upgrade for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 owners.
The company is reportedly considering offering some sort of Windows 9
upgrade deal to XP, Vista and Windows 7 users, with a completely free
upgrade option also on the table. This isn’t the first time free Windows 9 upgrade rumors have hit the web,
but previous reports suggested that Windows Threshold (Windows 9’s
internal codename) might launch as a free download to Windows 8.1
Update, and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 owners.
I think this is a great idea because most people with XP need to buy a new machine anyway because it couldn't run Windows 9. Also most people holding onto Windows 7 and dodging Windows 8 will upgrade for sure if it is offered as a free download. With Ballmer gone Microsoft is like a different company.
