Sorry Bunny, but no. Insider will not get the option to leave the Preview Program (unless they supply a 7/8.1 key).IF they do not supply a key, Final will only be activated for 3 months or so, like the other flights. The meaning DID change. Final's just another flight with a 3 month activation period, and there will be no option to leave the program without supplying a 7/8.1 key or formatting.
PS: the leaked builds that have an option to stop receiving flights ARE NOT indicative of what MS will release to the Insider Program. MS can (probably will) remove that option.
or 6 months or whatever lol. Same time period as other flights
This. I'm sure at some point MS was planning on saying "lol format or gtfo" like they did for 7/8, so the source of the ambiguity is that they recently decided to keep it open and aren't sure where to go next.
But yes, limited shelf life was what I was referring to. 10130 expires in Oct 2015, for example.
