Really?
Is there a catch? Here's the fine print from the Windows 10 page on Microsoft's site:
“It is our intent that most of these devices will qualify, but some hardware/software requirements apply and feature availability may vary by device. Devices must be connected to the internet and have Windows Update enabled. ISP fees may apply. Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 Update required. Some editions are excluded: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1. Active Software Assurance customers in volume licensing have the benefit to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise outside of this offer. We will be sharing more information and additional offer terms in coming months.â€
Someone translate this for us please.

Yeah, I hope it's voluntary. I don't want to wake up one day and have my W8 computer download the update on its own.

From what I understand, the upgrade is free for one year and then there will be a fee.
I'll stick with Win 7 until they decide to stop supporting it like they did XP.
