Microsoft's Windows 10 is expected to be released this summer. At a WinHec Conference in China, Terry Myerson's (Microsft's operating system chief) statements were misconstrued causing people to believe that people with unlicensed Windows 7/8 would receive an automatic upgrade to the licensed version of Windows 10.
However, Microsoft quickly corrected this by letting users know the upgrade will not be licensed, or legal. Users with a non genuine version of Windows will 'receive periodic reminders that Windows is not genuine. In addition, to more clearly display these messages, your desktop might turn black. You can reset it, but every 60 minutes, it will return to black until the issue is resolved...if your copy of Windows isn't genuine, you won't be able to install many updates that are exclusively for genuine Windows customers, including Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft strongly recommends that you get genuine Microsoft software immediately to help ensure a safer computing experience.' (windows.microsoft.com)
