One is a "flight" or update, the other is an upgrade.
You understood correctly what I wrote. :)
(Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong is a different matter, but those edits which Microsoft made have got to be significant, and they do change the meaning on whether we'll be able to keep running clean-installed builds as activated without a Win 7/8.x licence.)
Now the only time the word "activate" comes on that page is:
If you are running the Enterprise edition of the Windows 10 Insider Preview, to upgrade to the final release of Windows 10 Enterprise you will need to download and activate it from Volume Licensing Service Center. As a reminder, the Enterprise edition of the Windows 10 Insider Preview is not eligible for the free upgrade offer and can be upgraded to the final release of Windows 10 through an active Software Assurance agreement.
Appears to be back where I thought it would originally end up. Not really expecting anything at this point other than the obvious free upgrade from my 8.1. It does appear that Gabe may have gotten ahead of himself a bit.
I do not remember reading that users in the Insider Program will be forced to upgrade their Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 within one year. If this is the case then I will have to do some serious thinking about this.
Wynona, would you or someone please provide a link to the source from MS that states this? Thanks.
The way I'm reading it is if you are running a preview and are signed in to your MSA you will be upgraded on the 29th for free. For anyone else to get the free upgrade to Win 10 they have to have a genuine version of Window's 7 or 8. It's still early and I haven't had my coffee yet so I could be wrong.
