Hi,
Googling yielded many results that informed me that if one for instance
reserves a free upgrade to windows 10 all updates remain free for the life
of the device it's on and the same holds true for all updates were one to
purchase windows 10 when it'd be for sale. I.E. once one owns a copy all
updates would be for free. So it is my understanding that there would be no
subscription model put in place for windows 10. Either people get the
upgrade for free or they'd choose to purchase it outright after the offer
for the free version expires after a year but there is no cost for updates.
One article stating this can be found here:

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows 10 Annual Update Fee -- Is it a Reality or
Not?
Since the original thread got slammed by the moderators, I'll post this
again with a new subject.
Is Windows 10 going to be a truly free product, or will there be an annual
fee for upgrades? Consider the model used by most software manufacturers,
like FS where getting updates requires payment.
What's the current wisdom on this question?
