Although it's a bit early for celebration, it looks like torrent users from across the globe will have reason to rejoice.
Today's Microsoft announcement placed a lot of emphasis on the importance of the Chinese market, and that's probably why most tech experts assumed that free Windows 10 updates for pirated copies will be a China-exclusive offer, an attempt to get Chinese businesses on board with Windows 10 once the new operating system launches this summer.Īt the moment, there is a certain degree of confusion regarding these free Windows 10 upgrades for pirate users.

As we've reported a few hours ago, Microsoft announced today in China that Windows 10 will be released at some point this summer.
