[Lowfer] Windows 10

[Graham]

I have also heard about Win 7 and 8 users likely being able to upgrade 
Win 10 at no cost for time after it's introduction.

I have also heard that Micr$oft has not yet finalized it's pricing 
structure for Win 10 but there are rumours that they are seriously 
considering a subscription model - that is you subscribe to their OS for 
X dollars per month or year or whatever. If that is the case, then being 
to upgrade for no initial cost doesn't quite make it for free.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. There are already some 
expensive off the shelf applications which use a similar subscription model.
