Microsoft's obsession with piracy threatens to create a Windows 10 licensing mess
Microsoft wants Windows 10 to run on every PC worldwide, which is why they're offering it as a free upgrade to everyone running Windows 7 or 8.1. But the company's obsession with "genuine" Windows threatens to scuttle that grand plan.

There is no Auto Update upgrade path to Windows 10, or any other major version of Windows. If you don't want it, don't buy it or install it.
If you're inferring that you're using pirated software, then you should take advantage of any cheap upgrade offers that Microsoft will promote when the new OS is released.

if they want that to be their grand plan they need to let it rip. but im sure they will go thru knee jerk reactions a few times till they finally settle on what they'll do, large company, old molds to break.
windows 10 has to have a perfect launch not a mess.
