It’s so good they skipped Windows 9 altogether!
Windows 10 Preview will be available tomorrow.

No, actually all you can say is it is the NEWEST.
It is ONLY HOPED it is both advanced and superior.... but yet again the criterium for defining such is important.
It can be argued that if an OS is NOT universally adopted/appreciated/liked then it is actually INFERIOR.
This is NOT semantics it is actual logical reason devoid of pre-conceived pro-fanaticism.
The motivation for sidestepping a version '9' is quite revealing. Is it to attempt a 'fresh start' after the 'wrong-direction' of 8 followed by too much positive AND negative speculation as to what '9' might be that prompted the choice....as has been the case for all previous numbering/naming processes they've adopted?
Vista became 7 because it wasn't universally greeted as well as XP had been ie some considered it inferior to XP.
Each OS build is a simple MS market push for dominance [success] and 8 did not succeed, not by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, lots of people offered reasons....but the most relevant one was that 7 was so competent no-one saw the need, even when [or because] MS tried to make it indespensible as a cross-platform conformity - about as commercially-driven a ploy as has been [still is] 4k televisions....3D televisions.....curved screen televisions.....all blatant attempts to get the consumer to replace the perfectly good machine he already has....long before it grows old and dies.
That video 'introduction' is simply cringe-worthy on so many levels.
If you can "know" that 10 will be " the most technically advanced, superior OS that MS [or anyone else] has released" ahead of any release to the public, then by the same token, others can also "know" that it will suck well before the RTM version. besides, I see no OS bashing per se. Just a few chuckles and shakes of the head concerning this latest tactic to get far, far away from Windows 8. There's plenty of time for discussion about the OS itself after RTM.
We must spread our knowledge to the ignorant consumer!
The fact that MS has been able to retain a traditional yet even faster desktop while introducing new abilities and features is enough to consider Win 10 superior. Should it be crucified by the press/so-called experts well before the public can evaluate it for themselves, and thus the uptake is slow or poor [because there are so many sheep who believe everything they read/hear] that does NOT mean the OS is inferior, just that the press has the power to sabotage any product it doesn't like.
It may be just a few renaming chuckles for now, but it is leaning toward bashing and WILL inevitably devolve into an OS/MS bitchfest from which little or no constructive criticism or comment will arise. The members of this site have done this with every Windows OS released thus far, though less so with Win 7, so it's not if but when. I'd love for there to be a reasoned OS conversation that discussed the pros and cons of an OS without it devolving into a flame war that spoils, detracts from the topic, but me thinks I'm asking for waaaaay too much.
Hi,
starkers. we do know the advantages and inconients from using windows. Everyone has their own opinion about this.
But it is to early to name it 10. Why not name it '15 or 2015 if not 9 then.?
That would be more logical and more understandable.
An interesting idea, but not really possible every os is obviously good and bad at the same time. People do often see only one side more than the other. And do think they do know all about it. Thats why there is that problem.

I was thinking, where have I seen that terrible hairstyle before? Then it hit me.......
Was going to write a comment about the hairstyle...and maybe calling it MS 10 - The Bedhead Edition", but then...
There is no inconsistency. They have been using Nonary Base all along
looks like they added the "ugly tiny startmenu" where you have to click numerous times to open a prog, but still it shows a screenshot with the BIG one that looks like Win8start (the only change is that the taskbar is visible on that one) new clip function inc. nice will test it with a buddy tomorrow at uni campus superTalentRaidDriveII I7-5960X on ASUS x99-D with 2x Asus STRIX GTX970 in SLIDDR$ -GSkill Ripjaws4 3200-16GB Black [K4] GSK (actually arrived today [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] ) will be wicked CL16 16-16-36 (ADATA will be replaced bc MHz) Powered by 2x Bequiet DP Pro 1200 cause power is important, we actually would only need one but we have two of them so why not use them Open air cooled by Noctua NH-D14 because we love silent shit want to see the difference in performance – looks is secondary if you actually "work" with an OS + there is windowblinds to change that sooner or laterEdit: http://winfuture.de/news,83867.htmlHas some more videos, also has one that shows the tiny startmenu in action (you can completely remove all pinned apps) think thats cool so i have to correct my comment before. it doesnt look cramped up at all.http://winfuture.de/news,83626.html Shows that the win8 Starmenu is optional [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] amazing
Windows 10 destroys the right place designs in start menu by inserting the metro.The icons covers the entire menu which is something that should startdock make a little twist here.If stardock follow the direction of microsoft then this is not called customize for me.
I hope Microsoft will include a setting to turn off all live tiles on Windows 10.
Agreed! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
I just bought windows 8.1 for £10 so that I can get windows 10 free. [e digicons][/e]
And how do you explain 95 98 2000 ??? or 1 2 3 3.11 7 8 10 . ?? Thats not so nonary at all. Or do solve: NTMEXPVISTA How are themes names connected ? .
You see microsoft didn`t had any reason in the way they gave names or numbers in their systems.
I did just bought my notebook and id had 8.1 on it. Would have prefered 7 but did have to use 8.1 damn. 10 schould really be free since its like xp service pack 4 and xp without them.
I don't believe at all that Windows 10 will be going free. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it happening.
That's what the word is windows 9/10 free to all those with win 8 and 8.1. It's been on several tech pages. I mean they would have to with win 8 only being a year old before they had to replace it.
I installed 8.1 this morning to make sure the key was genuine. And you know what, it's not half bad. I think I will keep it until 10 arrives.
Looks more like Windows 8.2 than Windows 10, maybe 8.1 was 9.
Windows 8.1=Windows 8+1=Windows 9
Makes sense to me.
9 is 8 and 8 is 10, no wait, 10 is 7 and 9 is 8, no wait, 7 is 10 and 9 is 8.1, no...........
Those are also the same "tech pages" that thought the next version of Windows would be Windows 9.
turn off live tiles? why on earth would you want to do that?
10£ isn't exactly a huge risk, although I agree with Island Dog. They're not going to give it away.
10 won't be 'given away'. That would be too much of an admission that 8 really WAS the dog everyone said it was.
They could give it away for free to restore the public's image of a good Microsoft...
