Well it would be nice if MS gave us the new OS for free like some of the other brands do when there is a major upgrade (might be some exceptions), Android is a whole different story, my understanding is that it is an open platform somewhat like Linux. I don't see MS going there.

Of course Microsoft won't go there. They sell software as their business, while Google sells ads on web browsing along with selling user information to those that use their email service and browse at the same time. You can't expect a software company to stop charging for their products! LOL
