Free Windows 10 Upgrade Plans [Jan 21, 2015, 3:13 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Windows 10: The Next Chapter
offers a presentation from Microsoft for Windows 10, the next version of their
operating system.
PC Gamer has news from the presentation that for the first year of release,
this will be offered as a free upgrade for owners of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1,
noting this will provide access to DirectX 12, a Windows 10 exclusive. There is
speculation that this will involve license fees after the first year, but this
has not yet been confirmed. Update: There are more details on the
Windows blog which seem to indicate this means free for the life of the
device.

I hear ya about these subcriptions. I want to/ kind of need to get photoshop but I'm sure as hell not paying them a monthly subcription. I suspect that if Micro$oft tries this with 10 it will make 8 look like a massive success.
I'm not sure how deep you want to get into Photoshop, or how much of a power user you are, but GIMP 2 is an open source image editor with a shocking amount of functionality built in for the low low price of completely free. I'm still learning the ropes, but I've been having a great time with it.
