Most of MS' money comes from businesses adopting the OS. People in businesses will be more likely to recommend their company adopt Win 10 if they use it and like it at home.

"The immediate revenue hit is unlikely to be large, as Microsoft gets no more than $500 million of its $20 billion or so annual Windows revenue from upgrades, analysts said.

Isn't it free for the first year only? You have to buy after you use your year long free trial right?

Free DURING the first year.
After first free year they will make a subscription yearly fee... And return everything...
sticking to win7, wouldnt switch if they paid me to after the piece of junk that was win8.
Will make more people familiar with it and prompt Office and other devices usage.
At one point MS was good with home piracy of os because that still was better than losing the customer and maybe had bussiness migrate as well.

Hmm isn't win10 100% free(none of that yearly crap) for us unlucky win8 users?
