Windows 8.1 with Bing is a free version of Windows 8.1, bundled with Microsoft software and services, and Windows 7 users are free to upgrade. The blockbuster news made people ecstatic and began to imagine the free time of Windows.

The leaked documents have poured cold water on people: Windows 8.1 with Bing is built for inexpensive Windows 8.1 devices and is available only to OEMs.
