Windows 10 big conference

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

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....?

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.

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.
