A new start menu and metro apps running on the desktop

Nice. One of the updates for Windows 8.1 already lets you run Metro Apps in a desktop window, but nice to see it will be carried over to Windows 9.

Mr. Analog · July 15, 2014, 03:50:37 PM

Yep, 8.1 brought some improvements, hopefully 9 continues that trend

It's now officially Windows 10, and combines the start menu with tiles

I don't have to add an "All Programs" button to my Win 8 desktop anymore

Yeah, they've been leaking pictures of the new start menu for a while. I can say I don't hate it. and Windows X (X Windows??? lol) may be an upgrade I'm willing to make.

Tom · September 30, 2014, 01:23:54 PM

But Late 2015 is waaayyy too long. I thought they were supposed to be speeding up the release timelines?

Mr. Analog · September 30, 2014, 01:27:37 PM

Yeah, talk about a missed opportunity for Windows X (all the cool stuff has X in it)

Tom · September 30, 2014, 01:40:25 PM

Just be glad they didn't go with Windows One.

Darren Dirt · September 30, 2014, 01:41:20 PM

perhaps "Windows 10" is actually binary so it is "Windows 2" #fullcircle

Mr. Analog · September 30, 2014, 01:42:30 PM

I'm still waiting for Windows ME*

Metro Edition

hahaha

How about Windows Mine?

It would have to have Java pre-installed for people to really Dig It

ISWYDT.

But all it really needs is some tweaking and J#.

MS already has a J# though! They can just use that!
