Well it would matter if you pirated Windows 10 as they are not getting a part of the money back from what they are selling it for. If they intend to sell it, they expect someone to buy it... But in this case all Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 users get a free upgrade anyway, so this is irrelevant.You have to pick your fights with illegal software. On the one hand it is indirect stealing but at the same time microsoft is still making plenty. I can't afford to buy a new OS for my computer (I happen to have a legit copy of 8.1) so if they released 10 as a new product I wouldn't even be in the market and, as such, it wouldn't matter to microsoft at all whether or not I illegally downloaded their OS.
There is also an argument to be made about how windows is overpriced and how buying software is slowly dying out.
And that argument is invalid. It's their software, so they can sell it at whatever price they want for it. Whether it is too much or not is simply a matter of opinion.
