Could be some price cuts coming soon as the UK vendors are overstocked.

Good intentions, BUT.....
Even if that post gets deleted, your copying his post has only increased the SEO that website is getting. The whole point of the post was to get that website picked up by Google.

Hmm - I kind of wish you hadn't posted that.

It seems Microsoft have announced yesterday that people who want to install the Preview version of Windows 10 can currently (not sure how much longer) still register as 'Insiders' and will keep a genuine licence when it is finally released, even if it's running on hardware that didn't have a licence for Windows 7 or 8.

Although all users of Windows 8.1 (which will be on many new laptops) can upgrade to Windows 10 anyway, mostly they will upgrade to the Home version, while the Preview is currently the Pro version which has encryption built-in, which I find useful, but normally costs nearly £100 to upgrade to.

Even a computer which came with no OS at all could end up running a genuine Windows 10, if it's done in time.

So if I can find a cheap computer and still get Windows 10 Pro Preview installed, it may be a bargain... and I am poor at resisting bargains!

Edit: Microsoft have now 'clarified' their statement. Originally it said:

I’ve gotten a lot of questions from Windows Insiders about how this will work if they clean installed from ISO. As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated. Once you have successfully installed this build and activated, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh.

Now it says:

Once you have successfully installed this build, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh. It’s important to note that only people running Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 as part of the free upgrade offer.*

So it's now looking rather less generous.
