Windows 10 addresses a lot of concerns, and I’m pretty hopeful it’ll succeed in ways that 8 didn’t. Windows 8 was more of a political and PR mistake than a technical one – it’s a fine OS in my opinion – but too many things were just handled poorly and weren’t completely thought out. To begin with, and as I mentioned in an earlier article on Ask Leo!, don’t let your experience with Windows 8 color your expectations for 10. I’ve played with the Windows 10 preview a little and wanted to share some of my initial impressions. A little annoying, perhaps, since it’s really only marketing, and unfortunately not good marketing at that, but it’s safe. I wrote up more on that in this article earlier this week.

This week, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will be released on July 29th. EXACTLY what that means, and exactly what will happen on that day isn’t clear, but that’ll get clearer as we get closer.Īt the same time, Windows Update installed a little icon and app on many Windows 7 and 8 machines that offered to “Get Windows 10”. It scared a few people, since it kinda behaved like malware, appearing without notice or request. It’s been a busy week for Windows 10 news.Īnd naturally, I’ve been getting questions about Windows 10 for some time…
