Not long after releasing a poorly tested Windows 10 October 2018 update that has wiped out user data for countless users, exposing Microsoft to class-action litigation for data loss despite its update EULA stating that Microsoft isn't liable to data loss; the company has shored up retail prices of its Windows 10 Home licenses. Windows 10 Home now sells for USD $139, a 40% hike from its $99.99 general availability price on the Microsoft Store. OEM licenses of the operating system can still be had for $99 on Newegg. The Windows 10 Pro version still retails for $199.

IMO we are just approaching the peak of the recovery from the 2008 crash. Spending and credit are widely available, unemployment is nearing record lows, and money is being invested wherever it will fit. Something will give, sooner or later.
so I bought 2 digital upgrade windows 8 licences for £48
then it was free upgrade to 8.1
then it was free upgrade to windows 10
so im more than happy I dumped windows 7 for windows 8 cheap offer upgrade, as it's led to free upgrade path all the way to windows 10 on two PC's
and for only £48 :)
glad I wasn't one of the anti windows 8 and at least gave it a chance which has paid of in the long run :)
love windows 10 best O/S in a long time
funny all those who lost data from not backing up are probs taking class action which Microsoft has off set any cost by upping the price of their software :)
thus new buyers of windows 10 pay for the mistake of others not backing up class LOL
I have a few "free" OEM keys, but they're worthless to me now.
could you imagine the whine'n that would be going on if everyone moved from Microsoft platform they moan hard enough about most Microsoft products they would murder unbuntu lol
