Will Windows 10 Be Free for Windows Insiders?
Following an unfortunate miscommunication by Gabe Aul, Microsoft has been tying to eliminate this rumor to no avail. And the latest build, which is strongly believed to be the RTM version (see above), remains permanently activated, although no Windows 7 or 8.1 license is needed to run this installation.
If we can believe Microsoft, this build will eventually expire. In that case, they would have to deliver an update that will check for a valid license and introduce an expiry date or lock Windows Update, which would eventually render the system unusable. Meanwhile, a slim chance remains that Windows Insiders will receive Windows 10 without a license validation after all.
