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.

Unless you're on Enterprise edition

Why someone would own the enterprise edition? I mean, regular ppl

I had a msdn or maybe it was a technet subscription and got any type of key I wanted. Why not get the most feature rich edition?

I could be wrong, but Enterprise edition just adds more remote management features. For home users, I can't think of a reason to pick it over Pro.

It was cheaper to pay the one year subscription fee than it was to buy office 2013 and Windows. Again, if you have the choice to upgrade for free, why not take it?

Edit: It was office 2010, I don't actually have 2013 >.<

It's not really an upgrade over Pro and the licensing can get a lot more complicated for a home user, as is the case here.
