Microsoft Skips Windows 9, Heads Straight to Windows 10

Re/code: Microsoft on Tuesday gave its first detailed look at the next major update to Windows, which it has decided to call Windows 10. The software, expected to be released in final form next year, is designed to run across the broadest array of devices, with screens ranging from four inches to 80 inches, with some devices having no screens at all.

why isnt this the news of the day. straight windows 7x8

JamshiJack3494d ago

Currently am on Windows 7 and for some reason I didn't switch to Windows 8, now I think This is the OS I have been waiting for , I will switch to Windows 10...

aviator1893493d ago

I have to agree.
While I'm on windows 8 and have gotten used to it, there are many instances where I've missed using the start menu.
Windows 10 is looking pretty great so far.

TXIDarkAvenger3494d ago

Looks neat but I've adjusted to how W8 is and its not as bad as people say it is.

neoragex3494d ago

that's a bit weird, but anyways, I liked what I saw last night, will be getting this for my dell.

Seeing as it goes good one, bad one and seeing how they've skipped Windows 9, does that mean Windows 10 is going to be another bad one?

KingPin3494d ago

not at all.
they just want all the odd numbers to be the bad ones going forward.

mcstorm3493d ago

Haha no as MS have not always used numbers anyway. People forget we had 98 the 98se then it was XP and Vista before they got back to Windows. Even before that we had 3.5 ect.

Windows 10 is Microsoft reaction to the business world. Microsoft know that its main sales are in business and seeing the amount of companys not moving from 7 to 8 they knew they needed a OS that is for 7 and 8 users.

I like the look of the new OS and I see it being a hit as it seems to bring the best of 7 and 8 with its own bits too. Really like the new 4 snap window and the look of the OS between touch and none touch.

aviator1893493d ago

Aw, man. That 4 snap window thing is going to be so useful for work.

Windows 10 upgrade notifications will stop trying to trick you

HanCilliers2856d ago

People should upgrade to W10, don't get why they wouldn't want it.

KingPin2856d ago

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.

and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.

on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.

annoyedgamer2856d ago

Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.

Grap2856d ago

"Win 10 is horrendous"
by that statement i know you haven't fully used it.
I get people who don't use it for spyware service reasons and i sympathies with them, but in no way of shape or form W10 is less than W8 or even 7, MS really outdo them selves with W10 and if it weren't of their spyware service i would say it's even better than XP.

TXIDarkAvenger2856d ago (Edited 2839d ago )

I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.

xXx19902856d ago

lol this is great.. You guys act like Microsoft just started spying on people.. This has been going on for years
