Free Windows 10 upgrade offer ends today
Although this offer was initially supposed to expire on December 31, the page regarding the status of the free upgrade provided users the ability to access the offer even after the day in question. This led to rumors that the offer might have been extended definitely. However, Microsoft later announced that the deadline had in fact been moved to January 16.
Interestingly, as is quite well known by now, Microsoft refrained from introducing any proper verifications to check whether the user attempting to upgrade for free was actually using assistive technologies or not. This enabled many users to take advantage of the unofficial loophole to upgrade their systems. In any case, it can be safely assumed that the tech giant possessed knowledge about this obvious flaw in the verification system.

Honestly forgot about this program. But I don't see the reason the free upgrades have to end -- By now, most everyone has updated because they got a new PC or they couldn't stand the obnoxious "Upgrade Free!" ads on their desktop.
On another note, the OS should be free to begin with. That would really drive up the user base. But what do I know :)

Im glad that Microsoft offered that, but they must have lost a lot of money for letting people download their most popular OS for free.
