Official Windows 10 Thread: Installation and Issues (check first post)

Windows X is more catchy, than Windows 10. :/



Microsoft's naming conventions are bizarre. Even the Windows 7 is not exactly the 7th version of Windows OS, it's the build of Windows 6.1
Check in Windows products like Calculator, Notepad, etc., Select HELP and then ABOUT, and see the version there.

Windows X reminds me of X-Windows on *nix machines. That's why they probably didn't choose it.

There are rumors they named it 10, to take Apple OS X(also 10),
And Cortana will be on final build of windows 10

 

[amjath]

^ also Microsoft office will be integrated with cortana.

The best thing is for me is more user friendly command line. While the OS was being revamped, command line was feeling neglected. Easy Copy and paste options (along with any other features probably) is hence welcome.

About the naming of Windows 10 as not Windows X, I think is copyright. Apple would sue Microsoft as soon as they announce that they have named Windows using same naming convention as Apple's OS X. Yea, they can do that.

F**k Apple, well the reason is not that

F**k Apple, well the reason is not that

Then the reason is only that they wanted to catch upto the version of Apple's OS, just like Firefox did to catch upto the version of Chrome.
I think it's silly to compete in versioning lol.

The article said one can download a preview version at Windows Technical Preview is coming soon - Microsoft Windows. But to my dismay the only thing this page downloads is a .mp4 file which shows someone 'explaining' the new Windows. :/

Anyone got hands on the preview version of the windows 10?

Is the new Windows 10 means Windows 1 0 which is binary [0s and 1s] combinations of all products [one for all] which executes everything in 0s and 1s??
