I do hope I can link that Metro email program on the start menu to my gmail account otherwise it's useless.

Whatever it is going to be I'll stick with Windows 7. I can do everything I want on it with little to no problems.

The truth is out, 7 ate 9 so they moved onto 10.

_woLf · Sep 30, 2014

After the name of the Xbox One made absolutely no fuckin' sense at all, this does not surprise me in the least.

Microsoft's product naming team have completely lost their minds.

NotSmartEnough · Sep 30, 2014

They heard that every other release was bad, so decided to skip every other number.

now every release will be bad

That's in Off Topic, though. Off Topic isn't as cool as Gaming.

TronLight · Sep 30, 2014

And I'm still going to be on 7 for a few years. Unless my university subscribes to Dreamspark or I find a way to transfer my 8.1 license from my laptop to my pc.

"People with W8 get W9 for free."
Totally skips Windows 9 and releases Windows 10 instead.
Brilliant.

AmyS · Sep 30, 2014

So, the OS of the future next gen Xbox will be based on ?

Windows 12.

Why did they skip Win 9? That's supposed to be the good OS according to the "every other windows OS is shit" rule

You realize there is no windows 9 right? Windows 10 is the next OS so that rule would still hold true.

please be joking

Baron_Calamity · Sep 30, 2014

I would have named it Windows 11 or XI. Just because I could.

Trying to buck that trend.

Thank god. I hate the Windows 8 layout, it's complicated more than anything.

Not really, I find it simple. This version will keep the Metro interface if using a tablet hybrid PC (ie. Surface Pro)?

Why don't they just call it Windows One just cause.

They actually said that on stage..

"What should the name of the new Windows be?"

"It wouldn't be right to call it Windows 9."

"Windows One"

"But unfortunately, Windows 1 has been done."

Taco_Human · Sep 30, 2014

Is it still free for Windows 8 owners?

Anton Sugar · Sep 30, 2014

But what does this mean for the "every other Windows OS is good" theory?!?!?!?!

FalsettoVibe · Sep 30, 2014

Will build new PC when this releases.

gamechanger87 · Sep 30, 2014

Excited! They really wanted out of the 7-9 concept. Big push to enterprise.

ViciousDS · Sep 30, 2014

Used XP, skipped Vista, Got 7, Skipped 8, Will be getting 10. It seems they get every other revision correct.....so I will be getting 10....it looks great.

The new Windows 10 comes with all those basic applications you've come to expect from your Windows operating system, except a calculator

I for one can't wait for Windows XIII-3. I hear that fixes all the problems in the first two XIII versions.

10? So 8.1 was Windows 9?

Begaria · Sep 30, 2014

Heh, they should've called it Windows 12 and marketed Direct X 12 with it.

small44 · Sep 30, 2014

Maybe they was hypnotised to forget the number 9

Windows 10.0 Cheetah...
I'll wait for Tiger at the very least :°)

LabouredSubterfuge · Sep 30, 2014

I hope that a feature of Windows 10 is that all of those people who insisted Metro is actually really good should be forced to use it in Windows 10.

kewlmyc · Sep 30, 2014

Was Windows 8.1 considered 9 or something? So weird.

Bricky · Sep 30, 2014

Turns out I have been running Windows 9 all along. Windows 8.1 with a few tweaks was already way better than Windows 7 and the original 8 anyway, guess Microsoft officially acknowledged that with this name.

gamechanger87 · Sep 30, 2014

They are demoing command prompt. Definitely not worth a live webcast, but interesting nonetheless

orava · Sep 30, 2014

Command prompt improvements!

Aquamarine · Sep 30, 2014

Is 9 like an unlucky number or something?

Have a Nice Day · Sep 30, 2014

I don't understand.

niccoolnic · Sep 30, 2014

Lunar15 · Sep 30, 2014

Here's the thing: 8's main problems came down to a horrible UI. The actual OS wasn't half bad. My fear is that they're going to give us a better UI, but a worse OS. Holding out hope, though.

Woffls · Sep 30, 2014

If this is the enterprise OS, is there a chance they would call consumer-grade OS Windows 9?

Oh my days they've actually done something with command prompt. I hope it's... yep, it's pasting text. Finally.

That actually sounds useful! Like what specifically?

wapplew · Sep 30, 2014

Smart move, make everyone on 8 or 7 feel so far behind, the need for upgrade is unprecedented!
