I got in on the beta and get some Premium features free because I turned it on to let them trial it on all my systems at home, and it has been great, albeit not perfect, it did cause the BSOD on one of my Windows 10 Pro systems which forced me to reload, but its all good, I backup so reload and reinstall it was good.
Sophos has always "given away" home versions with their commercial, edu and gov license packs, basically it used to be one free home license for every 10, and now just recently in the last two years they started this project Sophos Home (with Premium as an option) for FREE, or Premium for a really reasonable price. Their product was called InterChk back then and it had some serious flaws, but the work ethic of Sophos has always been "Give us a moment, we will fix that and do this better!" And they consistently have done that. So I have been in IT for a long time, partnered with Symantec, eSET, Norton, Panda, McAfee, Bitdefender, Webroot, etc, and I have never really been excited to work with a partner until I started working with Sophos back in 2002.
