I totally understand their reasoning for staggering the roll-out. Think of the disaster that strikes if all users get Windows 10 and there's an issue. Of course, that's only an ok course of action if you're communicating well about expectations to your customers and users.
Microsoft as a company seems torn between wanting to spread hype for their products and communicating realistic expectations. Looking around on news sites we see lots of loud headlines with "WINDOWS 10 ROLLING OUT JULY 29TH FREE!" followed up with several quiet, "Microsoft clarifies this is only for a time subset of users that have signed up for a thing you've never heard of". Sure it creates hype but probably also a lot of disappointment as people feel deceived by the information.
I agree, but on the other side of this I've seen this headline everywhere and every time I see it I feel like they are trying to convince people that W10 will be delayed. Its super clickbait-y. A little irritating. No offense to OP, it's not your fault.
I would be totally cool with this if they changed their advertising to "as soon as July 29th" instead of promising something that won't occur for all.

Hey hey! Or in this particular case CRN.com because they're using click-bait titles.
