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.

Wow... the phone home crap is just getting ridiculous. I don't want One Drive storing / synching my shit, nor "Bing search" on everything embedded in Windows, nor Cortana telling MS everything I'm doing.
One Drive is a complete POS. So is Bing search. Hopefully they get hit by antitrust for bundling crapware.
I used bing once - didn't have a choice was a fresh install and was searching for chrome. Not realising the Ads took up half the Bing search page and being tired I promptly installed malware on my daughters PC <5 mins after it booted to windows the first time.
