Microsoft Unveils Windows 10 with New Smart Menu

[Avus]

Nice! People finally able to spend $100USD to get the official MS Start menu (tm) back!!

You know who else skipped version numbers? Blackberry. Remember when they jumped from 7 to 10?

HOLY BAT TURDS Dirgle! You are right! This is the end of the Microsoft!

After seeing hands-on reviews I will be installing Classic 10 or Start 10 thanks.
Hopefully there will be God Mode to allow quick access to the buried internals.

Omg finally, I've been thinking this since windows 8, why does there have to be a separation between touch and desktop apps. Why not just have a UI that is designed in a way that 'Adapts' to the device on the fly. Looks like they have done that in Windows 10.

It's like, what windows 8 should have been from the start (no pun intended)

It took them 3 years, but I'm glad that (it looks like) they got it right.

Why jump from version 8 to 10? 3 possible reasons:
1. Latest version is 8.1, which is actually supposed to mean 8+1, that is version 9 for you
2. Skipping the good version number 9 and hopefully break the good-bad-good-bad cycle.
3. Imply Windows 7 is old. Look, you are 3 numbers behind if you are still using Windows 7.

So when are they going to make the windows have depth again? Win7 was my favorite UI so far, so shiny and professional looking. Win8 looks so half-assed.

Lets hope 10 is just as good as 7 which as good as Xp which was better than DOS6.1

because i know the future is dx12 and we know theres no support for it in win7.

How did they not see the potential to piss apple off by calling it WIN-X 10.0
🙁

NICE MS.. now bring on the universal APPs that work across all my devices so I can seamlessly switch from my desktop to my phone to my hybrid device and back.. it's already there with IE and office and OneDrive.. get all the third party devs on board and then we'll have the future..

I'm going to buy another hdd so I can test this OS out. I really enjoyed the beta testing of Win 7 so I hope this is great too. I just hope the drivers are promptly updated by all the hardware makers. Update your drivers to sound cards ASUS!!!!! my $200 Xonar stx sound card has to work.

First reactions from apple fanboys like always.

Applications can run in "Windows" that you can manipulate... OMFG... i just wet my self, such amazing innovation!

Microsoft should call it Windows Thundercat.

(Every version of OSX is named after some form of cat)

Can't use cats... that's apple thing. Nope, they can call it Windows Thunder turd. Which looks to be better than Windows Diarrhea.

Microsoft : Putting the Suck back into computers!

They would have had success with Windows 8 if they had only done this two years ago.

At least we get so see Microsoft showcasing a Windows OS with a mouse, for a change. I still don't agree with the phone-like apps, but at least it is a step in the right direction.
