Microsoft names next operating system Windows 10

[zetaray]

Whatever name MS called its new OS, it's still a piece of crap. They think they can bully it's way into tablets by making desktop OS touch screen friendly. The fact is, it forces users to switch away from MS.

Either they skipped the windows 9 or forgot counting.

Lol.. Maybe 9 is badluck for Gates.

[schutzhund]

I saw the start menu is back might give a shot but meeh

[jontrue]

Windows 10 is a Windows 8 with start menu

Lol.. Maybe 9 is badluck for Gates.

I heard that someone in Germany thought that it's because the word nine (spelled: nein) means no in the German language.

In other words:
Windows: No

[drmundo]

the fuk windows 10...

seriously... 

let me guess its more squares and colorful crazy hyped shapes that make me a century to find a simple start button.

The reason is that Windows 9 was too similar to Windows 95, i.e Windows 95 and this would break a lot of code out there, so they switched to Windows 10.

It's a pretty silly reason if you ask me.

Probably. But Microsoft said W10 will be the last major release, they will now update Windows with incremental updates, 10.1,2,3 and so forth for probably quite a few years.

i wonder why they don't use windows 9 as the new OS
why windows 10?

[Nobitcoin]

Woo hoo no more Windows 8 thank god... Anything is better

[FuegoTropicalArrrrrrriiii]

If this keeps to the pattern then it should be cool. Microsoft releases crap OS and then the next one is pretty cool. So since windows 8 was a disappointment this one should be ok.

[Dabangg]

I went from XP right to 8. Then I upgraded to 8.1

I actually like Windows 8/8.1, but seem to be in the minority because I never had Windows 7

As somebody who is currently dealing with a technical problem created specifically by Microsoft, this makes me angry.

What? It's definitely alot better than Windows 7, and you can't even compare it to something as outdated as XP.

[AJinNYC]

I don't think we should judge it based off of its name.  What was the rationale behind skipping 9 though?

Because technically it's the right version number.

Windows 1 = Version 1
Windows 2 = Version 2
Windows 3 = Version 3
Windows 95 = Version 4
Windows 98 = Version 5
(skip ME and 2000 - they're patch versions essentially)
Windows XP = Version 6
Windows Vista = Version 7
Windows 7 = Version 8
Windows 8 = Version 9
Windows 10 = Version 10

Whoever named Windows 7 fucked up... it should have been 8.

[LeoN147]

I was using Windows XP (lol) then I moved to Windows 7 (VERY GREAT) then I tried windows 8 (F*** YOU) then I turned back again to Windows 7
I might try Windows 10, Till that, I will stick with Windows 7

Exactly.

Windows 8 is a pita.
