Windows 10

Still sound like they have no idea how to solve Windows Store.

I'm liking how it's all sounding, but MS ain't executed well in years, so we'll see. Much hype and potential though. My Surface 3/Laptop/PC will be jumping straight onto preview, and Surface 3 and Laptop will be Windows 10 guaranteed. Possibly PC, but I used an MSDN license.

They seemed completely quiet on pushing tablets etc.
 
So windows 10 will be a free upgrade for 1 year.

Then what....

Do all existing users keep it for free, new users pay.
Do all users after 1 year pay X .
Do they move to a subscription based service ? ( this was rumored)

Will they instead monetize apps or features Eg control panel becomes a £5 app...

all existing users keep it for free, new users pay.

it'll be like 8.1 when it was free but it's just for a longer period. it's so they get people thats on win7 a longer chance to upgrade.

new users have to pay

It's not the same.
You could get a Windows 8 key and put it on Windows 8.1 for free (The Windows 8.1 part).

You didn't go from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 for free for example.

Anyway, Windows 8 basically got abandoned by MS, they started doing 8.1, then changed their mind.

Suddenly we've got Windows 10, and its preview looks like "upcoming Windows 8.1 updates"
 
I'm guessing ARM devices won't get the Win32 apps that x86 devices can get. But will ARM devices have a Desktop? With Windowed "Metro" Apps? These are my guesses, anyone can confirm?
