Windows 10 Tech Preview

[The Penguin]

Last night I found a tech preview for Windows 10. Anyhow, share what is your thoughts on what you think after watching the video?

A somewhat better synthesis of a more traditional point-and-click GUI. Whether it's good enough to compete against Linux and Mac remains to be seen.

No matter what they do I'm not likely to consider a transition to another OS until Windows 7 is officially unsupported. Or when I die....whichever comes first!

Thanks for sharing Penguin.

So many different things to click on. Looks far too complicated for my liking.

I got an error about the amount of RAM I allocated for Virtual Box to use with the Windows 10 ISO :/

Sorry to year that. If you do ever get it to work let me know and share what you think of the OS.

I have found for a long time now that Windows is full of bloatware.

It seems it doesn't matter what processor or clock speed you have or how ever much RAM you have, it still goes like a tortoise through treacle.

I'll likely stick to Linux.

I like running M$ Windows in a virtual machine and had came across a small Windows XP ISO that's suppose to be the last updated version back in 2013 ...

I do have a legal copy of it, it's just that my Dad lost the damn registration key for it lol

The colors! Ack! CLASH! Cannot watch! I feel like modern design is having a 60s/70s relapse in all the wrong ways... *shudder*

Uh... What happened to Windows 9? There was Windows 8 and all its ugly "oh look at me I look like a stupid iPhone touchscreen thing" and now we're going straight to 10? Either 9 is something they're more ashamed of than poor (and awesome) Microsoft SAM, or Microsoft clearly cannot count even with their fingers.

I was thinking of the same thing. But since windows 95 to ME was Windows 9x, they decided to instead to use the name for the next version of Windows as Windows 10. Yes it confusing. Maybe MS loves following the Star Wars modal. Jump the sequence number all over the dam place.

Of version "8" they are. So much so that they are skipping an entire number to distance themselves from their own creation.

Marketing ploys...

Maybe version 9 was so terrible, that Microsoft employees repressed the mere memory of it and deny that it existed in the first place due to how scarring and horrible it was.

This might be of interest to you guys Where's 9? Microsoft unveils Windows 10 it's an article on the question about the where-a-bouts of Windows 9 lol

Yeah it sucks losing the registration key.

I wish Microsoft had set it up to where you could search for the registration key by using the product code or serial number from the CD or DVD :/ Hmm, Maybe ole Google can help me out a little ...
