Every time I see someone post "is it one year and then a subscription, I get a vicious twitch"...lol. Think of it as a mass (1 year) beta test. Those that help micro iron on the final bugs (in that first year) get rewarded with a copy of Win 10. Given the amount of copies they lose to piracy anyway, this is a price that is so small to them it's nothing. Stop reading mac forums where this subscription nonsense could have only come from.

Me personally I'm gonna wait about a month or 2 to see if my Antivirus and other vital software gets along with it.
Thanks jlmurph!
