Windows 10: Windows to be called Windows 10

There is no way that I will ever use a cloud based OS. Linux is free*Arrow

 

Sooner or later, it's likely that one of the updates will be larger than most, and then a great deal of the kernel might be updated at once. It will be just like the MacOS. OSX just gets incremental version releases (though they can incorporate a lot of improvements and changes). I'm sure with Windows 10, sometimes the updates will install over top. Other times, it may require a maintenance mode to install an update. The point is, patches will be cumulative. I'll also bet new features will be pushed to users much more rapidly.

My concern is, what if I liked a feature from a previous Windows 10 revision? And what if it disappears on the next revision? I can't go back to the version of Windows I liked because I won't receive updates. Moreover, it will just be re-updated again.

We were discussing in a thread a week or so ago, about being tied to Microsoft at the hip, and it does seem this version of Windows is set out to accomplish just that, by migrating us to a service subscription at some point in the future.

I'm keeping an open mind and I'm going to try the Tech Preview starting tomorrow.

 

Windows 9 must have been a real loser.

 

If you had been following any social media 9 was a winner.

 

Just how cloud based will it be? I have satellite ISP and a real deal breaker if too much cloud based is forced. The data usage is a total no go.

 

Ooowah! *Doh

9 is like 10's dead identical twin now. Maestro > A requiem please....

I'm sure Microsoft have done this just to annoy him.*Biggrin

 

Wow, I must be living under a mushroom. Windows 10 now instead of Windows 9....what happen to the "beta" release of Win 9 we were hearing about???

Sorry but this jumping around is going to create more confusion than before. The "uniformed" will ask the question, at least a billion times, "What happened to Windows 9?"

Whatever.....................

 

Well now my bookmarks look out of order, thanks Microsoft.. Good thing I'm not OCD.

 

I think you'll find that the uninformed largely don't care. The average-Joe consumer can be relegated to one of three categories:

(a) they don't run Windows and consume the web on a tablet/phablet/phone
(b) they'll get a new PC and run whatever Windows version comes on their PC. (just tell me where to find excel...lol)
(c) they'll stick with Windows 7 or even XP.

 

I don't recall that MS ever called it Windows 9. They always referred to it as Threshold. It is the press and we that called it such. Simply an assumption on everyone else's part.

John didn't put all of his eggs in one basket, so was ready with the WindowsTen domain name.

 

Lol! Well, they run Windows. It's just that more times than not they don't know which edition.

"Edition?" > "Yes. What edition of Windows is on your PC (or device)?" > "I don't know!" *Biggrin

 

Lol again! May I suggest you do as I did under my avatar? *Tongue

 

When I fixed my neighbours PC (spyware etc and stuck another 2 GB ram in it) he told me he ran XP Windows.
The Machine had Vista SP2 on it. Joe Public does not care as long as it works.

 

Thinking about this I was wondering since the codename for Windows 9 was Threshold, what if the builds that were considered to be 9 or Threshold, ACTUALLY crossed the threshold into becoming Windows 10 because it's such a big release?....

There better be MUCH more in store in the next four to six months to have 10 to not be called 9.

But then again, when Windows 7 was being developed and launched, there was still some maligned feelings about 7 being another sucky launch. Looked what happened.

Methinks lighting may strike twice.
