Windows 10
 
Hey guys!

Microsoft just recently unveiled the technical preview of Windows 10 (I know, they skipped nine. Those bastards!). It looks much better than Windows 8 in my opinion, especially since they removed that ugly metro tablet interface. Here's a few things I like about it!
  • The addition to the Windows start menu again.
  • Ability to scale metro applications
  • Easy access to applications (like Windows 7)
  • Support for multiple desktops (like Linux!)

Those are some of the awesome things in Windows 10 that I noticed straight off the bat. I'll be sure to keep updating with things I like and dislike about the OS.

By the way, get the preview at http://preview.windows.com. It's free!

Hmm, I wonder if they will still be releasing 8.2 or not?

The reason why they're releasing 10 before 9 is due to the fact they know it's going to suck. If they made 9 bad it wouldn't fit their pattern.

Actually, the real reason they're using 10 instead of 9 is because the microsoft devs were lazy in the making of windows 98 and used Windows 9 as the code name in the software instead.

This is proof that Microsoft has time machines.

Is there really no way around this? I thought Microsoft just liked using random numbers. *Cough* Xbox One *Cough*

It sure looks a hell of a lot better than my first thoughts of Windows 8's preview. It actually doesn't look that bad.

They called it Windows 10 because it is "many steps higher" to be Windows 9 and because only 17% of the PCs have Windows 8. Anyway the Windows 7+8 menu sounds laggy. Not sure why I have that feeling

Apparently they're calling it 10 because it's going to be the final major Windows version release... or at least that's what I read in some article.

Microsoft screws up every other OS anyway, so this looks solid.

That sort of makes sense.

Windows XP - Great
Windows Vista - Sucked
Windows 7 - Great
Windows 8 - Sucked
Windows 10 - ???
