I believe I have seen that when the Spyware goes gold
that there will be no charge for the software and
updates. Can this be confirmed somewhere?

Yes this is from Bill himself:

At the RSA conference, Bill Gates announced the consumer and enterprise
strategy for Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware.
"The personal version of the final Windows AntiSpyware software (will
be) available at no additional charge to licensed Windows customers as
part of the Windows value proposition. The offering will offer full
functionality to consumers, including the ability to detect and remove
spyware, continual protection that helps guard against more than 50
ways that Web sites and programs can put spyware on a PC, and
protection against the latest threats through the combined efforts of
the SpyNetT community and Microsoft researchers. For business
customers, with more complex infrastructure support, management and
deployment needs, Microsoft plans a managed anti-spyware solution that
will be available as part of a paid solution."

Yes, it will be free to all licensed Windows users, and Enterprise Edition
however will come at a cost, but most of that functionality will probably be
for client and server side networking, with features for Central Management,
Group Policy.
