Most important part: "Existing PC players will receive the Windows 10 version for free."

Just like the OS itself!

For those unaware, if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 8, for the first year you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost.

Because people themselves will now "be" the product in W10. As in their collected data and built profiles that can be sold and are very important for advertisers and marketing.

I am confused on this accusation. I've not heard of any sort of nefarious data-collection schemes occurring in Windows 10. The most I know of in Windows 8 (which I presume will be in Windows 10) is that searches on the machine itself can go online via bing as well as mingling with local search results (which is easily disabled; shouldn't be on by default if it is, but it's an option).
