| Microsoft Announces That Windows 10 Will Launch On July 29 Today Microsoft formally announced the release date for Windows 10, the latest version of their Windows operating system. Up until this point, all Microsoft had said was that they were aiming for a summer release. Today's post on the official Windows blog states the release date for Windows 10 has now been set for July 29, less than two months from now. According to the blog post, Microsoft expects Windows 10 to usher in a new era for 1.5 billion Windows users that currently reside in over 190 different countries. Windows 10 is Microsoft's chance to win back users who didn't embrace the changes made in Windows 8, and they have a lot riding on its success. Offering it as a free upgrading to existing Windows users will certainly help in gaining adoption. Users running older versions of Windows are now receiving notifications to "reserve" their upgrade to Windows 10 before it launches. Even with the free nature of the upgrade, the promise of a July release date for such a monumental update is quite a bold move on Microsoft's part. The less than optimal state of the current Windows 10 testing builds means that Microsoft has a great deal of work ahead of them as they squash bugs and improve the stability of Windows 10 in the two months between now and release. As a user who is keen on upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I really hope they succeed. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9317/m...nch-on-july-29 |
