Jeff,
I didn't want to give up windows 7. However, I might try the release as an insider to see if I want it and my programs still work but I am not so sure I won't go through the hassle. For a week or so everyone will have the RTM whether they are an insider or not that if they upgrade to 10. I also have a few issues with my computer. My dell computer is an oem slp key and my motherboard was replaced under warranty. At one time I used the key to install the 32 bit version of windows 7 from digital rivers but that been awhile. I am back to using the 64 bit version oem slp version.
Those guys don't know crap. They have the same information we have, and they're just giving their own interpretations. You'll get a different answer from a different "tech", i'm certain. These are front-line script-monkeys. They only know what someone has written a script for them to answer, any other answer they give they pull from their nether regions.
You are misinterpreting events. It's not that Microsoft can't make up its mind at all. MS knows exactly how they're going to handle this. The problem is that the twitter information tends to come from developers, and not the lawyers, and the developers don't think about all the legal stuff, so what they say is how THEY see it.
This is one reason why Microsoft has traditionally not let developers talk on the subject of license terms.
