I'm looking forward to Windows 10.. I feel like it will be what 8 should have been, will be like 7, what Vista should have been, will be like...

Watching the video of the demo, why would MS assign an employee who's been working on their Mobile development to be responsible for the PC development? This worries me since really, why wouldn't you assign someone who was a large part of past OS development?

They could have easily fixed fullscreen metro apps and add customized windows size button + add that kinda like 3d aero preview button in win 8.1.1..
Guess they wanted win10 to look that much more "appealing", well I will upgrade my 8.1 non the less, but still kinda stupid.

After watching the presentation I must say it does look like this is a serious step in the right direction.

“It was a name that resonated best for what we will deliver,”
Broken promises and poor commitment?
At least they oped out of calling it "Windows X"

Regarding the name change, I think everyone here overlooked the simplest reason for skipping 9. It would seem that Microsoft is trying to get past the jinx that has plagued Windows from the outset. Generally speaking it has always been the odd numbered OS's that has performed well on the market (95, 98SE, WinXP, Win7 and presumably Win8.1). The even numbered OS's have always tanked (98, Vista, Win8) requiring Microsoft to release a quick follow-up at minimum. I think MS wants the even numbered OS's to do well for a change.
On the other hand....naaaaaaa! LOL

Well, when Microsoft called Windows 6.1 "Windows 7", they said that the name was chosen because it was the 7th Windows big release.
Well:
Windows 1.0
Windows 2.x
Windows 3.x
Windows 4.x(NT4, 95, 98, Me)
Windows 5.x(2000,XP)
Windows 6.x(Vista, 7, 8, 8.1)
I think it cares logic as the new Windows name, so there is no surprise.

I hope the major VM software vendors are ready for Win10 :P

now that they have taken away what I liked of previous windows (dreamscenes on w7, aero style on w8) I don't think this one is going to disappoint me

I like the improvements they made to command prompt.
being able to copy past made easier.
also
are windows back to being transparent?
watching some of the vids it looks that way. but then some apps are not.

Of course there is
Let me put it this way... Does your Windows 7 sound a bit old now?
