Some marketing genius at Microsoft thinks they’re falling behind because their numbers are lower than Apple, I’ll bet. “See? We’ve got a 10 too!”

Well, with the leak that Windows 9 would be a free upgrade for Windows 8 users, this is understandable.

Late 2015, which is later than was expected. I was hoping to get whatever’s next on my next laptop.

Hmmm
Is it just me ... but my experience is that the odd number versions of windows were OK ... like 5 .. 7
But the even numbers were a dud like 6 (Vista) and 8, which I haven’t bought.
Hope this is not a harbinger that 10 will be a dud.
Just saying ...

They should go to 11. One higher than 10.
