Windows 10 possibly just free for a limited time.

Acccording to Paul Thurrott of Thurrott.com and Mary Jo Foley of All About Microsoft.com this is comparable to what they did with $15 promotional key for "buying a new computer" (even though you didn't have to provide any proof that you bought a new computer) w/ 8.1 and it won't be free forever.. Anyways, I have no intention of installing 10 now, but am gonna get the iso file and registration key just in case...

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Where do you get a key? I thought you had to supply your own key. My free student windows 7 key won't work. I am able to try it for a while. I think it will demand activation sooner or later.

I already did that stuff and I didn't get a key. I think that's why they call it a free "upgrade". I did a fresh install on a different partition.
I might be able to upgrade a windows installation with my student key.

I haven't gotten a key yet either, but I only did the reservation today and the wait can be up to two weeks.. However, I did download the ISO

I assume I'm getting a key

I already have the 32 and 64 bit ISO images and one 64 bit usb but no key. Already running 64 bit clean install unactivated. My brother did the download update and didn't get a new key.

Make sure you've waited the 2 weeks is my only suggestion, otherwise it's just a M$ fail
