> They've announced that Windows 10 will be free to all Technical Preview participants

Got a source on this?

That just implies that we'll be able to install it, not keep it for free. My current evaluation copy claims it expires in October.

What's the point in that since anybody who currently has Win7/8 can get it free as well?

I suppose there's a number of people running the preview as VM on non-Windows machines?

It is free only if you have a valid Win7/8 licence.

Should I just buy a Windows 7 license to get a free upgrade to Windows 10?

Just install the technical preview and you will be able to upgrade for free. Source http://m.windowscentral.com/windows-insiders-will-be-able-up...

Great news, thanks! I apparently signed up for the Windows Insider program a few months ago. :)
