Big business behind a free Windows 10?

Microsoft is starting to roll out its new Windows 10 operating system. It’s available for free to a large proportion of Windows users. You think that’s a poor business model? – Far from it, insists DW’s Hardy Graupner.
Windows 10 comes with quite a lot of new features and improvements over everything we’ve seen before. Among other things, there’s now a digital voice assistant called Cortana, which will be a great help for users to find files and content and keep on top of things to do.

And there’s Edge, Microsoft’s completely overhauled browser, which comes as a replacement of the not-so-much-loved Internet Explorer. Edge also allows you to leave notes on websites that can then be made visible for other users, and you can use the new browser to compile your personal read-later lists.
