Sounds like MS is going to be quite generous: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/03/19/why-microsoft-is-giving-away-windows-10-to-pirates/?utm_campaign=yahootix&partner=yahootix

Hmmm... When I first read the release earlier, I assumed the "qualified" meant legal. Guess not.

Why not just give out clean installs of 10 with IE as an integral part. Since its free, that wouldn't seem to violate the decision in the Netscape case. MS might argue that it is providing free IE-by-a-new-name with an operating system attached. Can't wait to see what happens. My experience with Win7 is that it works and is faster then XP, but not as stable. That way, MS could control and get the advertising revenue.

After reading the entire article, it seems to me that Microsoft will pester everyone who installs windows 10 to "become genuine" through the windows store until they pay. See the update at the the end of the article.
