Microsoft have not made their fortune or their reputation by being profligate, reckless or even vaguely generous for that matter. Nor should they be. As a corporation their executives have legal obligations to advance and protect the interests of the shareholders. That means they don't do anything that won't turn a profit.
The fact that they are not telling us why they are giving this version of Windows away at no cost seems to me more than a little disingenuous. I am cynical, suspicious and distrustful of their motives and not at all comforted by their lack of candor.
For now at least, I will not be following the rest of the lemmings over the Windows 10 cliff.

They offer it "free" so they can use the open holes to spy on every lemming that uses it.
