Information Week reports that
"The upgrade will be free of charge to consumers and small businesses running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 starting July 29. They will download one of two editions. The first is Windows 10 Home, which has all the new OS features except those limited to the Pro edition. Windows 10 Pro is for higher-quality devices, like those used in business, and has features including the ability to set up a PC as a remote desktop server, Hyper-V virtualization, and BitLocker encryption." http://www.
I have additional concerns that ad hock users would see a banner saying Windows 10 come and get it across their screens and since there has been an rumor going around that since some organizations authorized users other than administrators to install updates, then it would not require administrative privileges.
In the past people have talked about removing specific patches to stop Windows 10 from coming. They are described here: http://www.sevenforums.

FAQ reports that after July 29th, those with incomplete updates as well
as those connected to a domain would get the "update now icon"
Why don’t I have the Get Windows 10 app?
If you don’t see the Get Windows 10 app on your PC, it might be because:
Your device isn’t up-to-date with at least Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update.
Windows Update is turned off or is not set to received updates automatically.
You’ve blocked or uninstalled the necessary Windows Update functionality.
Your device is not running genuine Windows.
Your computer is part of a Windows Domain
Microsoft has not determined your device capable of running Windows 10 even though it meets the minimum system requirements.
You are running a volume license client: Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Enterprise (only retail store bought or preinstalled OEM licenses) get the upgrade offer.
Running Windows Update and installing any available updates will fix the first three issues...
PCs that we determine cannot run Windows 10 will not see the Get Windows 10 app before July 29, 2015. After July 29, 2015, we’ll enable the icon in the system tray. This is to help ensure that you can easily check your PC’s compatibility if you choose.
If your device is managed as part of a school or business network, please check with your IT administrator about upgrading to Windows 10. http://answers.microsoft.
1) The people who signed up for the fast lane beta tests
2) The people who signed up for Windows 10 reservations
3) MSDN
4) Educational and enterprise customers with volume licensing.
I hate to start speculation but not only did NASDAQ have issues but United Airlines and Wall Street Journal and US Department of Immigration had issues on a Wednesday June 9th (after patch Tuesday) as well as late in the day on patch Tuesday itself on the 8th. http://www.reuters.com/
I'm not trying to bash a product but this requires serious thought and training effort and this takes time in the nonprofit world.
