There will be no Windows 9 and I don't think Windows 8 users will get 10 for free. Words "Microsoft" and "free" are incompatible by default.Wait. So this means windows 9 is windows 10? Or what? And is it true that windows 8 users get windows 9 for free?
That seems kinda weird to jump from 8 to 10. Or am I missing something? I cant read the article right now but it seems weird.There will be no Windows 9 and I don't think Windows 8 users will get 10 for free. Words "Microsoft" and "free" are incompatible by default.
No matter how hard I try I can't see the reason behind MS versioning with this particular OS. Looks like they've taken the same approach as Citrix with naming its products - just random and often.That seems kinda weird to jump from 8 to 10. Or am I missing something?

Microsoft explains it as "It’s simply Windows 10, marking a jump from the mixed reception of Windows 8."Thinking is not always microsofts strong spot. *Cough* Minecraft and spending so much money on something they won't make a bunch of money on. *Cough*

Makes sense /sarcasm/
Nah.. Techpreview looks nice. I'd assume this OS will be much more successful than 8."This program sucks and nobody will like it. But wel make it anyway." - Microsoft.
I guess it all depends what you use it for. Windows XP (from what Iv heard and seen) is still used alot because it has a good filing system on it. I prefer my windows 7, but thats just me.Nah.. Techpreview looks nice. I'd assume this OS will be much more successful than 8.
Not good - too many unpatched security holes.I guess it all depends what you use it for. Windows XP (from what Iv heard and seen) is still used alot

Really? That's not good because iv seen alot of places still using it.Not good - too many unpatched security holes.
"When you put all that together, the end result looks a lot like Windows 7. That's intentional. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore pointed to the millions of customers still using Windows 7, and said the company wants to make their transition to Windows 10 much more comfortable than the unfamiliar leap to Windows 8 two years ago. "We want all these Windows 7 users to have the sentiment that yesterday they were driving a first-generation Prius, and now with Windows 10 it's like a Tesla.""

But it seems microsofts taking a slight step back because they kinda jumped a gun I guess with windows 8 and people could not adapt. But I guess if they take it slower they might do it right.
ugh cant i just stick with windows 7 forever
i hate this "modernising" shit with their pseudo phone crap.
I have been hearing that the string "Win 9" is hard-coded to refer to Windows 95/98. So that can't call it that in the code, so they just skipped to 10.No matter how hard I try I can't see the reason behind MS versioning with this particular OS.
