Yes, you'll have to pay for it, they deserve it in my opnion - I'll be buying myself a shiny copy for myself. Windows 7 will still be more appealing to newbs, and I can see why. It has performance and ease of use (to an extent, it makes me feel like a newb sometimes because the interface is more like Vista, rather than XP which I've been using for years).
Also, DirectX 11, I'm very interested to see what it's capable of. Trying to live with this Radeon 2400XT until DirectX-compatible hardware is released.
EDIT: Also, the Windows 7 RC is free to use until March next year.
