A similar story appears on the Tom's Hardware site.

I have no connection with TH, merely find it often to be a very useful resource.

I guess we will know shortly. I like the idea of making this a free or low cost upgrade to existing users. It makes adoption a lot easier.

Not Windows 9, it'll be Windows 10!

So this is how Microsoft gets around possible obligations to be generous. ;)
