Re: Hard sell, hardly selling, selling hard
Windows 10 is a no brainer update from 8 or 8.1 and it's a reasonable upgrade from 7. It's got its issues, but its actually pretty good. At the least it eliminates most of the stupid bits of 8 and 8.1 and without the stupid bits, 8 and 8.1 were solid upgrades from 7. I won't bother to talk about Vista and XP as if you're still using either of those you're insane.
You're not the product because you're still going to be buying Windows. The payoff for Microsoft is pushing more home users into current versions of Windows to accomplish the following:
1) Push enterprise users to update their deployed Operating Systems to ones their employees are more familiar with faster than they might otherwise.
2) so that Microsoft can spend less money on backward compatibility.
Essentially expect that after the 2016 releases the Office products won't be supported on out of date Microsoft OS versions.
