We were talking about a free upgrade, not a purchase. If an XP user sees a free upgrade to the latest OS, he might not exercise due diligence in his excitement.

Well, a product offered for free would have more adopters than if the same product were to be paid for. Hence the likelihood of more disappointed XP users if it were offered for free, and more complainers as a result.
