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.
　　微软操作系统部门的执行副总裁泰瑞·迈尔森在WinHEC（Windows硬件工程论坛）峰会上介绍了Windows 10，并确认Windows 7、8的用户将会获得免费升级。他还表示盗版用户也能获得同样待遇。
　　易词解词
　　executive adj. 行政的；经营的；执行的，经营管理的，n. 总经理；执行委员会；执行者；经理主管人员。CEO=Chief Executive Officer，首席执行官，听起来很牛的样子，但是你造吗，实际这个CEO只是一个命令的执行者，即follow the orders of the chairman，为啥呢？词根sequ,secut表示to follow，前缀ex表out of，因为尾音是s，所以把词根secut中的首字母s给吞没了，于是executive执行官就是follow out orders。现在明白为啥电脑里的可行性文件的后缀是.exe了吧？
　　software n. 软件。其实这个单词后半部分的ware本意是照看、保管，延伸为看管的物品。所以aware意识到那是因为一直在盯着看，beware就是在提醒别人紧盯着某事物，warehouse则是存放需要看管的货物的仓库，而tableware,firmware和silverware以及chinaware等中的-ware则都是物体了。
　　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。
　　易词解词
　　company n. 公司；陪伴，同伴；连队，vi. 交往，vt. 陪伴。拉丁语里panis是面包，其词根pan表示食品，与food,feed,fodder饲料和foster收养抚养等同源。前缀com-表with,together，来自拉丁实词cum，表and，于是啥是陪伴和公司呢？就是eating bread together。同理，pantry是备餐室，而accompany就是to eat bread together，必然只解释陪伴了。
　　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。
　　Desktop PCs will need to be packing at least 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage to run the 32-bit version of Windows 10. Computers will need to double that up for the 64-bit edition. Screens are required to be bigger than 7 inches for Windows Pro, or bigger than 8 inches for the consumer version.
　　要运行32位版Windows 10，电脑需要拥有至少1G内存和16G存储空间。64位版的系统要求是32位版的2倍。此外，Windows Pro还要求显示屏大于7寸，消费版则要求大于8寸的屏幕。
