[QUOTE="skater, post: 458939, member: 19158"] The [URL="http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/windows-10-release-date-price-news-and-features-1029245"]article[/URL] ACO16 posted near the top of this thread made me think it was a subscription. In large type about a third of the way down the page, in the section titled "How will I get to download Windows 10?": That sounded like a subscription model to me. Now that you said that, I see it can be read a different way: After one year, current owners of 7 and 8.1 would have to pay to upgrade to 10. I don't know why I even clicked on this thread; I have no interest in using Windows any more. I use it at work because I have to, but at home I haven't fired up my Windows install on my desktop machine in months. I intend for my next laptop (replacing my Macbook Pro) to be a Linux laptop.
