Microsoft's
Windows 10 operating system (OS) marks a major turning point for the
company. For the first time, the Windows OS will be available for free - for a year after its release for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users.

(whether it be PC, laptop, tablet, or phone), which is a major shift
from the previous strategy of only offering OS support for a limited
period. This is a major part of the Seattle-based company's increasing
focus on providing services rather than merely a platform.
