Windows -- for most users -- is already "free." At least the price is included with the OEM hardware. Most Linux users, like me, pay the "Windows tax" when we buy our computers and install Linux over the Windows install. So "free" Windows 10 is not really going to change a thing. And, I'm guessing, free Windows 10 is going to end being "lease by the month" Windows 10, after the first year. So what will be "free" will probably be the first year "trial" period.
