Official Windows 10 Thread

Apparently they admitted they "got it wrong" with Windows 8.

Oh Microsoft..

I would think that 10 will be better than 8 but it's going to be a bastu*rd mix of 7 and 8/8.1
(I didn't think that ******* would be filtered)
Kinda like Windows ME was a bastu*rd mix between 98SE and 2000, When M$ was attempting depart from a DOS based O.S. but wanted to keep everything compatible

I'll wait till the preview comes out first before I post any opinions on it

No problem.

I'm assuming it'll hit around either 12PM or 1PM Eastern Time.

Tech Preview is up. Downloading the ISO now.

Looks like it's just using a generic key for the ISO.

wonder if the name changes affects this story

Windows 9 upgrade: free download for Windows 8 users | BGR


also this is something I saw describing more changes to console window

New experimental console features in Windows "Threshold"

opacity was something people saying they would like. they use it for monitoring a long running process in the background. we can think of ways to use it similarly to chat windows in a gaming environment. games use opacity on their chat windows.
