Interesting I haven't looked into what Windows 10 is bringing to the table. I'm going to upgrade to Win10 as soon as I can (if it's still free), but only from a research perspective. I have bootcamp on my macbook so worst case scenario I can use it for gaming while I fix my windows machine.

Doing the same. It's nice that Win 10 is free (will be for a year).

For early adoption, or are they doing subscriptions after a year ?

Sorry my bad. It's free to redeem for 1 year of release date (if you have Win 7 or 8). If you redeem it in time, its free forever.

NP, nice... good to see that they are not shooting themselves in the foot by turning an OS inter a subscription service. Server grade OS' are one thing, but subscription services on OS' for everyday people... easiest way to kill your company if your product isn't top notch.

As a active linux developer and packager i was really happy to see this in windows 10. And yes i do use windows on a few machines especially the one i just use for gaming. Microsoft has seemingly done a great job with windows 10 as far as i can tell from a few months of use and credit is due where credit is due.
