Fed-X,,,Bill Gates bought Fed-X and will be delivering it himself to your door ,he will have in on any media you want ,and even help you install it ,so some of us will be getting win10 in 2033
We discussed this at the last MVP Summit (Nov 2014), and that's the gist of it - they have some highly placed people working on the specifics of it. You'll see some evidence of possible scenarios in the Win10 preview downloads, but the final plans are still under wraps. Also, the marketing people still have to put their twist on it also - so we won't know until we're told.
Buying retail only would cause MS warranty hell with OEM purchased devices still under warranty. MS would suddenly have to support thousands of graphics cards when they didn't write the drivers.
Well first of all the OEM concept would be eliminated. Up to now if you buy an OEM machine that OEM is in charge of supporting that device both with hardware and OS. If you buy OEM OS from say Newegg you are on you own for support. If you buy the Retail version MS will support the software. Even when MS released a new version of it's OS they offered the new OS fro free if you bought a machine within 60 of the new OS release. You signed up on a website for all Windows users but you were handled by the OEM and you received the new media from the OEM not MS.

Here is the retail version below, already listed at new egg. New egg wouldn't list it as retail if a dvd was not going to be released. They would list as a retail digital download or something similar.
Microsoft may allow them & others to burn windows 10 on a dvd when ordered by the customer. Amazon does that for some dvds already.
Microsoft Windows 10 - Newegg.com
If they do offer ISO's for windows 10 I seriously hope they don't offer it via the same method as they are currently offering Windows 7 ISO files.
I have a fully paid retail version of 7 Pro and the MS software recovery site refuses to accept my key to download the English ISO. I have to select Swedish (which isn't the language I want) to be able to download. So it's a complete waste of time.
MS needs to sort that out if that's how they're going to handle it for W10.
