For all of you looking forward to it, here it comes:

Microsoft kicked off June with news that Windows 10 will ship on July 29, just a little under two months from now. The next big update for MS is designed as a unifying platform that will offer continuity across mobile, desktop, tablets and even the Xbox One gaming console, and it will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users for the first year. To help ensure easy updates (and probably as a way to try to get a large installed base of Windows 10 users right away), Microsoft is also using a “reservation” system that allows users to sign up to be notified when the update is available, and to schedule it to install when you want.

I've used the preview version of Windows 10, although not extensively. From what I saw, it's going to be a nice improvement over Windows 8, although based on my experience with Win8, improvement won't be difficult. I won't be an early adopter; I'll wait until they get all the bugs ironed out first.

Windows is still never going to be my primary.

There will be no Windows 11, per MS.

So we are going even numbers?

I don't believe that. Listen to the money talk.

I have trouble seeing how they're gonna make that work, too. They'll have to charge somehow, even if they go to a rolling release model.

ya you cant just give out free updates and plan on staying in business... even i know that

I agree with Surge, I'll wait until the problems are worked out.
