Just looked into a VR setup, costs wayyyyyy too much and there's not enough out or coming to warrant the cost to entertainment value. It's another luxury just like 4K and 8K setups. Maybe when it becomes more commercial in the sense of going someplace to play it. Without this access this tech will take forever to grow. Instead of arcades, vr lounges.

The Windows 10 free upgrade offer has ended, along with annoying nags

Finally! Not sure how they could get away with this much spam.

MS faces new lawsuits over aggressive Windows 10 free upgrade push

They've been real arseholes to the whole world so I expected a class-action lawsuit: 2billion PCs, 10000 dollars in damages each.
If they can get away with this, others will follow the precedence - which paints a very sad future for everyone.

There's also bad news. For those that did want to upgrade but didn't get around to it, you'll now have to pay for a Windows 10 license. Microsoft is currently selling Windows 10 Home licenses for $120, while Windows 10 Pro is available for $200. OEM licenses are a little cheaper: $100 for Home, and $140 for Pro through Newegg.


If you are a retard, you go buy a copy of Windows. If you have a brain, you go and buy a license on Reddit. Win 10 license goes for $30-$50.A far cry from $120+. Microsoft provides the tools/ISO you can download for free, install from DVD or USB, your choice. $120+ Pffftt.

First movers always pays a premium.

Prices will come down (same with 4K) as initial investments are earned back, more content is created and production gets refined.

Same as with everything else. It's just costly to be amongst the first to adapt somethng new.
