The german summar I read of their conference said the OS will be a free upgrade for W7 and W8 users, and that it is just one OS for several different platforms. It also said they promise full updating service for the full lifespan of devices it is being used on. No need to come up with a new OS then, thats why I see this as another hint for rumours from earlier last year that W10 indeed will be the last separately distributed OS they release. Said rumours also indicted that from then on their OS will also be externalised to the cloud. You then will even be unable to run your device without being connected to the cloud, for the OS is no longer on your device.

No-go for me. I hope its another of those famous MS ideas that explodes them right into their faces.
