I got a bad feeling about all this free upgrade advertising. Somehow i feel the downside will be, that they will fully bound OS to hardware. So you won't be able to activate Windows 10 as soon as you want switch to a new computer. Your "free" Windows 10 would not be portable to any new system. I hope i'm going to be wrong.

Well of coarse I dont think anyone believes there free upgrade will be transferable

Uh it will be, they already stated it will be. You submit your Windows 7/8/8.1 key and they give you a Windows 10 key, the 7/8/8.1 is then deactivated. The new 10 key has standard consumer licensing applied to it. It's no different then the upgrade from 7 to 8 was, when it was being promoted for $40, only this time it's free.

for retail keys , i highly doubt OEM keys will be transferable And most people bought there system with the OEM OS/Key unless MS is changing there ways to being nice. which if they are I want to see link stating this applies to OEM OS/KEYS
