Does anyone know: Will Windows 8.1 be a free upgrade for existing Windows 8 customers?

Edit: Did some googling, it will be a free upgrade (for anyone else wondering) through the Microsoft Store.

I've been reluctant to sign up to the store. As I don't want any syncing to the cloud, it's unclear to me what's stored at MSs end, and what the repurcussions are from doing so.

This seems a tactical way to get us to sign up for a store account.
