Windows 8.1 for free? Microsoft plans betrayed by ... - Gazeta.pl

Russian site Wzor.net has revealed screenshots of the new version of “windows”. The license information appears name “Windows 8.1 with Bing”. It has to be free.

not see the key differences between this version and what at the moment is available to users. One visible difference is obviously the integration of systems and services search engine Bing (eg maps).

free version, but if it occurs, will probably intended for manufacturers of computers and laptops. Reduced license fee to zero would help produce cheaper devices based on the latest Windows. It would be quite natural – after all, Google is trying with all his might to convince consumers to Chromebooków, or handheld computers running Chrome OS. Producers could “double save” because the Chrome OS and Android Microsoft gets after all the fees associated with patents. I earn on this fortune.

Microsoft, which derives the greatest benefit from the business segment, will certainly want to test whether the abolition of licensing fees is enough to stimulate the market. This seems all the more interesting that after a “free android” costs each manufacturer … five U.S. dollars per unit.

giant from Redmond has planned for the coming months a number of important changes. In April ends support for most versions of Windows XP. In the same month, according to reports Cnet service is to be made available to users with updated Windows 8.1. So big changes are coming, the free version of Windows to OEMs does not seem so surprising idea.
