I heard this on http://www.tekthing.com/ this morning.
Microsoft announced that they will be offering free upgrades to windows 10 from 7 SP1, 8.1, and windows phone 8.1. This is for all versions except Enterprise. You have to sign up via email to get the free upgrade when windows 10 is released.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/about (scroll down to the blue band)
from that page:
““It is our intent that most of these devices will qualify, but some hardware/software requirements apply and feature availability may vary by device. Devices must be connected to the internet and have Windows Update enabled. ISP fees may apply. Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 Update required. Some editions are excluded: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1. Active Software Assurance customers in volume licensing have the benefit to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise outside of this offer. We will be sharing more information and additional offer terms in coming months.”

Once upgraded microsoft will also give you free upgrades and updates for the life of the device.
So, sounds like a good deal unless Microsoft screws things up again in future upgrades.
