Wait, by this do you mean that its basically a one year free trial or do you mean that if you don't redeem your upgrade within a year, you have to pay for it? And does the same apply to windows 8/8.1 Users? And should I even care about Windows 10? What makes it better? (pardon my ignorance)

They explained it poorly during the conference. But from what I understand is that during the first year of its launch it's free to upgrade and you keep it forever. After a year anyone wanting to upgrade will have to pay. The Empire thread would probably know better though. I'm still not completely sure myself.

That's my understanding too. But I'm not sure.
