either they(M$ marketing idiots) are STUPOD or they use base 9 ie numbers are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8 (also stupod)

btw for me stupod is several times worse than stupid.

harpo

I'm just curious why everyone is flipping out on the whole skipping Windows 9. Microsoft has never truly held to a numercial sequence in their titles. The closest was Win7 to Win8. And we saw how that went.

I would like to see a proper XP type fly-out menu instead of the clickfest Vista introduced.

Oh wait... right click the taskbar, select toolbars, new toolbar - navigate to the startmenu and select 'programs'. You will now have a fly-out menu of all your programs just like a proper XP start menu

Note: you need to sort out folder permissions for the start menu before this will work

HI!... I'm So and so.. and I wanna talk to u like a 5 yr old

..my god

I seriously, for the first couple of minutes thought it was some satirical joke video, I had to ask someone if it was a spoof.

Here I was about to watch a video on Windows 9 10, but now I just want to figure out if Joe Belfiore is really a man or a woman.  Kinda looks like a man with a man's voice, but talks and acts just like a woman.

So distracting!!

The WHOLE problem is...he looks like the bloke in the Apple vs Windows ads who ended up in the Die Hard movie....

Can YOU say 'condescending little shit'?

I wonder what Brad will have up his sleeve when he starts studying the preview version?

Here we go again.... another MS bashing thread that'll focus on everything but the important and relevant. 

Thing is, Windows 10 will be the most technically advanced, superior OS that MS [or anyone else] has released, so all this fuss about skipping a number and going from 8 to 10?   Really? 

So does this mean Win 10 will be crucified before anyone has even seen it/had a chance to test run it?  Seriously, I had hoped for better... like perhaps a more constructive and adult conversation that spoke about the features and hopes for the new OS.

Oh well!

another joke from MS.

No, actually all you can say is it is the NEWEST.

It is ONLY HOPED it is both advanced and superior.... but yet again the criterium for defining such is important.

It can be argued that if an OS is NOT universally adopted/appreciated/liked then it is actually INFERIOR.

This is NOT semantics it is actual logical reason devoid of pre-conceived pro-fanaticism.

The motivation for sidestepping a version '9' is quite revealing.  Is it to attempt a 'fresh start' after the 'wrong-direction' of 8 followed by too much positive AND negative speculation as to what '9' might be that prompted the choice....as has been the case for all previous numbering/naming processes they've adopted?

Vista became 7 because it wasn't universally greeted as well as XP had been ie some considered it inferior to XP.

Each OS build is a simple MS market push for dominance [success] and 8 did not succeed, not by any stretch of the imagination.  Yes, lots of people offered reasons....but the most relevant one was that 7 was so competent no-one saw the need, even when [or because] MS tried to make it indespensible as a cross-platform conformity - about as commercially-driven a ploy as has been [still is]  4k televisions....3D televisions.....curved screen televisions.....all blatant attempts to get the consumer to replace the perfectly good machine he already has....long before it grows old and dies.

That video 'introduction' is simply cringe-worthy on so many levels.

If you can "know" that 10 will be " the most technically advanced, superior OS that MS [or anyone else] has released" ahead of any release to the public, then by the same token, others can also "know" that it will suck well before the RTM version. besides, I see no OS bashing per se. Just a few chuckles and shakes of the head concerning this latest tactic to get far, far away from Windows 8.  There's plenty of time for discussion about the OS itself after RTM.

We must spread our knowledge to the ignorant consumer!

The fact that MS has been able to retain a traditional yet even faster desktop while introducing new abilities and features is enough to consider Win 10 superior.  Should it be crucified by the press/so-called experts well before the public can evaluate it for themselves, and thus the uptake is slow or poor [because there are so many sheep who believe everything they read/hear] that does NOT mean the OS is inferior, just that the press has the power to sabotage any product it doesn't like.

It may be just a few renaming chuckles for now, but it is leaning toward bashing and WILL inevitably devolve into an OS/MS bitchfest from which little or no constructive criticism or comment will arise.  The members of this site have done this with every Windows OS released thus far, though less so with Win 7, so it's not if but when.  I'd love for there to be a reasoned OS conversation that discussed the pros and cons of an OS without it devolving into a flame war that spoils, detracts from the topic, but me thinks I'm asking for waaaaay too much.

Hi,

starkers. we do know the advantages and inconients from using windows. Everyone has their own opinion about this.

But it is to early to name it 10. Why not name it '15 or 2015  if not 9 then.?

That would be more logical and more understandable.

An interesting idea, but not really possible every os is obviously  good and bad at the same time. People do often see only one side more than the other. And do think they do know all about it. Thats why there is that problem.
