It’s Windows 10!

September 30, 2014 1:19:28 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

It’s so good they skipped Windows 9 altogether!

Windows 10 Preview will be available tomorrow.

Really? Lol, marketing.

I bet they would do this to be the same version as apple, which is weird since apple sucks and is just a hippster brand.

Well, considering that they never really followed a numerical sqeuence in their titles anyways, I guess I am not surprised.

... what are the chances that things like security suites will work with win 10 preview any time soon?

... now I'm just confused. The joke going around is that every other windows released is horrible. Win 95, ME, Vista, 8. If they're skipping a number, does that mean they skipped the good one?

I can't help to notice they're still using state-of-the-art "the future is here" style graphics

OMG this is real! How stupid are these people! What happened to windows 9...oh ya they just renamed it :/

why are they called windows? Why not doors 10 or walls 10 and will they do the smart thing and make it more like windows 7? All windows recently are very similar with basic cosmetic changes and hopefully people will get smart (not likely) and demand compatibility and user friendly options.

 

DARCA.

Latest update (from the Verge):

"Microsoft's Joe Belfiore unveiled Windows 10's biggest improvement yet: the command prompt. Your mom is probably very excited to hear about it. Power users will now be able to use CTRL+V to paste in directories, which is actually a welcome change. Copy and paste is important. (Especially for those of us who've been able to do this in command prompts for years on other OSes). But don't worry, it still looks exactly as you'd expect it to look. It's also probably not touch-enabled. Sorry."

The video suggests it IS touch enabled. Good thing too, since I just traded the 30 inch IPS monitor for a 24 inch touchscreen.

either they(M$ marketing idiots) are STUPOD or they use base 9 ie numbers are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8 (also stupod)

btw for me stupod is several times worse than stupid.

I'm just curious why everyone is flipping out on the whole skipping Windows 9. Microsoft has never truly held to a numercial sequence in their titles. The closest was Win7 to Win8. And we saw how that went.

I would like to see a proper XP type fly-out menu instead of the clickfest Vista introduced.

Oh wait... right click the taskbar, select toolbars, new toolbar - navigate to the startmenu and select 'programs'. You will now have a fly-out menu of all your programs just like a proper XP start menu

Note: you need to sort out folder permissions for the start menu before this will work

Here I was about to watch a video on Windows 9 10, but now I just want to figure out if Joe Belfiore is really a man or a woman.  Kinda looks like a man with a man's voice, but talks and acts just like a woman.

So distracting!!

I wonder what Brad will have up his sleeve when he starts studying the preview version?

Here we go again.... another MS bashing thread that'll focus on everything but the important and relevant. 

Thing is, Windows 10 will be the most technically advanced, superior OS that MS [or anyone else] has released, so all this fuss about skipping a number and going from 8 to 10?   Really? 

So does this mean Win 10 will be crucified before anyone has even seen it/had a chance to test run it?  Seriously, I had hoped for better... like perhaps a more constructive and adult conversation that spoke about the features and hopes for the new OS.

Oh well!
