Microsoft's operating systems unit Executive Vice-President Terry Myerson took to the stage to talk up the new software at the Windows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) summit in Shenzhen, China. Having already confirmed that current users of Windows 7 and 8 would get a free upgrade to Windows 10, Myerson revealed that the free upgrade will be available to illegal copies of the software too.

The move is an attempt to bring pirate users back into the official Microsoft sphere, and is likely to have the greatest impact in China, where it's reported that the majority of software is not properly licensed. To tackle China, Microsoft has partnered with Chinese companies Tencent and Qihu 360.
这一行动是为了将盗版用户拉回微软的怀抱。这一举措将在中国产生极大影响。报道称，在中国，超过半数的软件都未获得相应授权。为了解决这一问题，微软已和腾讯、奇虎360等中国公司展开合作。
Microsoft also revealed that Windows 10 will launch in 190 countries "this summer".
微软同时宣布，Windows 10将于今年夏天在190个国家和地区发布。
