Many of the questions about the upgrade offer I have seen in the last 4 months were about the process of using the upgrade license ( i.e what made you eligible for the upgrade license ). As for the question being able to be applied to Windows 9 this assumes there will be a similar offer even offered in the future. Of course it was discovered the Microsoft uses localized regional pages, so the information when this offer expires, is defined on those pages. | |

| Jan 30, 2013 at 12:57 | comment | added | Matthijs Wessels | @slhck you could reason that some questions about the offer could be relevant later. For example, if you have a key purchased through that offer and a few years later you can't seem to get it activated, then a question about the conditions are still relevant. | |

| Jan 30, 2013 at 12:45 | comment | added | slhck Mod | I agree the question is too localized to a specific point in time, but it's probably a useful question before the offer expires, so doesn't necessarily have to be closed yet. Consider people who have the same issue—in many cases. "Too localized" generally shouldn't be used if you could imagine there are others who might have the same problem, which applies in this case. | |
