This is huge: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/windows-10-free-for-all-windows-8-1-and-windows-7-users-for-first-year/

I was seriously thinking about dropping windows altogether in the not too distant future, but I own three or four licenses across 7 and 8, and this is a compelling reason to stick around for a while longer.  It also begins to explain how intel was able to score a windows license for a $150 compute stick and still make money on the deal. 

I imagine everyone who decided to wait out windows 8 altogether is feeling validated right now  ;)

Do you reckon MC will get some of this capability when 10 hits the street?
