Heck, I only recently jumped to 7 from XP. I've also seen the laundry list of privacy settings and changes necessary to prevent the OS from basically playing 'Big Brother,' of a sort, and I'm not really down with that. I've also seen reports that Windows 10 may change to a subscription per month 'service.' Whether that's true or not, meh, who knows. I'm suspect when a company, such as MS, just GIVES something for free that they're soon to charge X amount for after a grace period. But I do have to agree with at least one comment here. I definitely recognize the value of the upgrade, free or not, if only for Directx 12.
