Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's Novel Windows 10 Antipiracy Plan
Microsoft this summer will distribute Windows 10 to anyone running
Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows Phone 8.1, regardless of whether the
existing OS is a genuine or pirated copy. Terry Myerson, head of
Microsoft's operating systems unit, disclosed the marketing strategy
last week at the WinHEC summit in China. Some 74 percent of all
commercial software used in China is pirated, according to BSA.

T-Mobile Sows Seeds of Discontent in SMB Arena
Following a sterling Q4 in which it added 2.1 million individual
customers, T-Mobile last week announced it was going after competitors
with its "Un-carrier for Business" plan. By offering one flexible rate
plan, T-Mobile vowed to put an end to the pricing shell game and
compulsory haggling businesses currently experience. T-Mobile's Simple
Choice for Business plans have a 10-line minimum.

5 Crafty Customer-Retention Strategies
Remember all those hours you spent at the mall just hanging out, not
buying a thing? Well, a lot of us just never grew up. We just moved our
hangout from the local mall to the Internet. We meet our friends online,
we order food online, and we window-shop online. It's a good life. That
is, it's good unless you are at the receiving end of this online
voyeurism.
