They actually said it would be free for users of Windows 7 and 8.1, they said nothing about 8. And you do realize that if you upgrade from 7 or 8.1 on a computer, Windows 10 will never make you pay, it will always be free on that computer. The "free for a year" thing means that you have a year to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but if you want to upgrade after that you will need to pay. "It’s official, folks: Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for existing Windows users—as long as you claim it quickly." and "The decision to make Windows 10 a free upgrade for existing users—at least for a limited time" -http://www.pcworld.com/article/2873214/windows-10-will-be-a-free-upgrade-for-windows-7-and-8-users.html
