One Note upgrade pop up? Free upgrade 2010-2013?

[Modred189]

So I booted up One Noe 2010 this morning and got a pop up from it telling me to upgrade it. The button sent me to a legit MS website:
http://www.onenote.com/download/?MajorVer=14&Ver=14.0.7140&Display=1

I'm not really sure what's going on here. Is it offering to upgrade me for free to OneNote 2013? Why would MS do that?

The standard version One Note 2013 is now free so if you have 2010 there is really no reason not to download and upgrade to One Note 2013. Anyone can download the full standard version of One Note 2013 by going to http://www.onenote.com/

The business version which adds Sharepoint support, Outlook/Exchange integration, etc is not free and is still available to purchase for enterprise customers but that doesn't really matter to most home users. I don't think most of enterprise features were in One Note 2010 anyway.

I tried to upgrade to it but it wanted me to sign up for a Microsoft account. No thanks.
