Windows 10 and NextPVR

Did a quick search in the forums and didn't see much info on Windows 10.
Looks like the free upgrade is going to hit (at least in the US) July 29th. Will NextPVR run on Win10? Any gotcha's we should be aware of?

I haven't tried it myself. I think I remember another user mentioned it worked for them though.
Microsoft is pretty damn good with backward compatibility, so I wouldn't expect many problems. I'll get on to them quickly if there are issues though.

I think I'm going to wait a bit before upgrading. I'm not very happy with the way MS is so pushy with this release and I also wonder what happens after the first year. Are they going to ransom us for a payment for it after telling us it's free? Maybe I'm reading too many conspiracies but something just doesn't smell right to me on this one.

The free upgrade, if you qualify, is only good till July 29, 2016. If you decide to upgrade after July 29, 2016 then you will have to pay $$ for the upgrade.

I got this today in a ZDnet email:
I heard that after a year Microsoft is going to start charging for subscriptions. True? Not true. The Windows 10 upgrade will be free, as in beer, for the first year after it's released. And there won't be any surprise fees after that. The basic licensing model for Windows has not changed with Windows 10. You get a perpetual license, and you will continue to get updates "for the supported lifetime of the device." What does that mean? At some point in the future, your hardware will no longer meet the specifications for a new release, and that will be the end of the line. But as long as your device can accept updates, it will get them. Microsoft contributed to the confusion with some clumsy wording, but its intent is clear. The free upgrade offer is designed to get as many current devices as possible to move to a single platform with a single Windows Store. And the one-year deadline is intended to add some urgency to the decision so that Satya Nadella, Terry Meyerson, and company meet their self-professed goal of seeing Windows 10 on one billion devices.
