Posted by msmash on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @04:10PM from the free-stuff dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft is providing a free virtual machine that comes preloaded with Windows 10 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2017, and various utilities in order to promote the development of Universal Windows Platform apps. Before you get too excited about a free version of Windows 10 Enterprise, this Virtual Machine will expire on January 15th 2018. When downloading the development environment, you can choose either a VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, or Parallels virtual machine depending on what virtual machine software you use. Each of these images are about 17-20GB when extracted from the downloaded archive and include almost everything you need to develop Universal Windows Platform apps.

3: Profit.
Where "???" is "Screw over users"

Sony is on step 2. It has no reason to be useful anymore and with an extra 35 million Dollars it on it's way to profit.
