Considering that Windows 10 will be free for anyone with Windows 7 or Windows 8, legal copy or not, I don't see a problem. Additionally, all current browsers are shit. There isn't a single one that behaves the way I want with the features I want with the performance that I want. Microsoft does make some good products, so I'm looking forward to trying their new browser.
