HoloLenses? Xbox-Pc cross platform? Project spartan? We may see a good OS from MS this year

I'm not so sure, they have had plenty of opportunities in the past and failed to deliver.

A bit more competition from a serious player (add name of choice here) would be nice and may even push them to strive harder than they have in the past.

Free upgrades to W10 for users of W7 and W8 - they really must be desperate after W8.

The new OS comes not before Q3, and then the upgrade option should be there for one year. That means there is still time to wait for feedback. I will not jump onto the W10 train on the day in gets released.

Possibly the last classical OS MS does deliver. From now on they maybe will just eternally upgrade W10.

That they so openly press for users using cloud data storage, pisses me big time. The most unsafe option for data storage that is, and when youngster are used to it from childrhood on, the chance is slim they will decide again st it when they are grown up and have a job. That way a better awareness for privacy and data safety once again gets systematically and intentionally eroded.

Possible that in three years or so I will physically disconnect my game platform from the internet, since I do not buy much new games anymore anyway, and get a smaller device for online surfing exclusively. Installing Steam games once and very early, and then having it offline as well. It may pay off that I never was attracted that much by online gaming.

Did Microsoft promise it will be buggy as hell and take six months to a year to fix.

But like before plenty of fools will rush out and buy it on day one.

Man MS is continually all over the place. It seems almost every other year they are coming out or planning another OS.

It is too bad they would not adapt a multi-OS type of system. Where you could purchase an OS based on your personal preference versus here is the new one and eventually you will have to get it as we will no longer support older versions

I'm hearing you on FM SKY.

I like the look of the HoloLens, that looks intriguing, but I think it will be best implemented with something like Dexmo (http://www.gizmag.com/dexta-robotics...keleton/34410/) which will enable you to feel the objects in the virtual world as well as interact with them.

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.

That W-10 will be a subscription based OS....?

Buddahaid · 01-22-15, 10:46 AM

That right there is the biggest reason I hate "the cloud". Want to buy Adobe Illustrator? You can't, but you can subscribe to use it. I'm still running graphics software I bought twenty years ago but those days are now gone.

desertstriker · 01-22-15, 04:01 PM

I doubt it will explode in their faces for the simple reason every other windows release is decent; 98 XP, win7. and vise versa every other one is garbage; millenium, visa, win8.

I was really trying to stay away from 8, but don't mind it as much now. Vista was the worst for me. It was on my wife's laptop, I eventually put XP on it.

Wise move

I've had Win 10 or a few months now on a dual boot.
I'm growing to like it a lot.
